Flatwater

Rouge National Urban Park and Lake Ontario shoreline explored by canoe.
You will be surprised on what you will see on this urban adventure.

Tim River is one of the best places to watch wildlife in Algonquin, be prepared for a relaxed flat water trip with luck we see a moose.

Need 1-3 persons for base camping at an nonreservable site. Daily exploring of the area. Easy put-in & take out. One hours of less paddle to site.

Come join me paddle Duffins Creek Ajax The creek's headwaters start in the Oak Ridges Moraine located in Uxbridge flows all the way down to Lake Ontario in Ajax.

I have resurrected the recently cancelled June 29 to July 2 trip to Algonquin park .

Looking for 1 or 2 people to enjoy a relaxed, easy time on a single site. Hour or less paddle to 2 possible sites. Sites are unreservable. BYO gear, food, boat, etc. Spend days exploring the area, hiking, etc. Easy put in.

This very popular annual trip seems to be a great draw for all levels of paddlers. We are now into the 13th year doing this and we’ve enjoyed perfect weather (most times), portage free paddling, and a social barbeque that has followed our outing. This is a wonderful day to enjoy an easy moving water river and to socialize with other WCA’ers. The trip will start in south Cambridge where we will put in and then paddle to Paris. We will pass through scenic farm country, stop at a haunted mill, negotiate some easy grade one water, and stop for lunch along the way. Those interested are welcome to join us back at our house in Cambridge for some food, beverage, and social time.

Once a year, Toronto and Region Conservation (TRCA) provides a unique opportunity for people to paddle the Don River. Manulife Paddle the Don is all about having fun, enjoying nature, and celebrating the Don River watershed. The WCA has supported this event for many years and TRCA relies on our expertise and experience. For 2018 we are looking for volunteers to help coordinate the portages at each weir, to act as a communication lead, and to help coordinate the Scouts. Volunteers will require a Vulnerable Sector Screening that has been completed during the last three years (TRCA will reimburse the cost if you don't have this). All volunteers will receive the Paddle the Don swag (a hat, and this year we are looking into cell phone dry bags), as well as lunch.

It is about a 4-5 hour paddle with probably no chance to get out to go to bathroom, depending on the waterlevel

This is an incredible fun paddle meandering around creeks and through the Forest Field.

It is also a great opportunity to introduce paddling to your kids. Last year we had several adults, that brought some younger participants. And it was a lot of fun

Excellent trip for beginners to learn how to trip for multiple days and to learn how to read a river.
the Saugeen has some moving water, mostly just ripples, no rapids to speak off
Ive done this trip multiple years in Snow and in Hot weather but always on Victoria
Day weekend,. So be prepared for all kinds of fun challenges.
