Wabakimi Provincial Park is situated on the traditional lands of several First Nation and Aboriginal communities.
Thi is part 2 of the North West Wilderness Quest for me, but anyone can participate.Please note that this is going to be a strenuous trip, as i was advised, due to the severity of the wilderness that only 12km a day could be done. As there is less information about this park, compared with Quetico.
As this is going to be tough trip,definitely nothing like Alconquin or even Quetico. Portages are much harder and less groomed. A rough plan route is below.
This is a WCA trip and membership has it's privileges.
PLEASE help me by signing-up on the website for the trip to show you are a member and email me too.
A questionnaire will be send out to see if we have the same thoughts about camping in the wilderness
The fine print - Everyone attending will have to agree with the WCA waiver of liability too.

She tells me that the route minimizes portages and incorporates lots of long lakes.

Rouge River Park provides an incredible opportunity for inexperienced paddlers to learn how to paddle a canoe in slow moving water and beautiful surroundings.
6 day canoe trip starting and ending where Highway 69 crosses the French River. This trip is intended for enthusiastic photographers who will bring their interchangeable lens camera to capture stunning photos and videos of Canada's First Heritage River. Basic route is a figure 8 around Merranger's Island and French River Island - including a bit of paddling along the shore of Georgian Bay.
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.
