Nastawgan

Printer-friendly version

If the trip program is the heart of the WCA, then its quarterly journal, Nastawgan, is the soul. More than merely a club newsletter, the journal is a resource for articles and reports about wilderness travel and informs members of WCA trips and issues in the paddling community. You will find submissions by club members and other like-minded outdoor adventurers, as well as each season’s Events Calendar.

Nastawgan accepts a wide range of topics from wilderness canoeing and winter travel to club events and training reports, historical and environmental subjects, photo essays, equipment reviews, letters to the editor, news briefs, and other paddling pieces.

The WCA retains a comlete archive of Nastawgan issues. WCA members must log in to view archives issues of the current year or previous year.  The archives contain all the journals back to 1974 Vol. 1 No.1 
You can view the archives here at Nastawgan Archives.

The WCA has compiled a 'Journal Index' which is a list of past Nastawgan articles, by subject content & title, called the 'Nastawgan Index'.  It is an aid for the journal years 1974 - 2007 that can be used to track down past Nastawgan articles for the purpose of trip planning, research, or general interest.
