Our guides are some of the highest trained in the industry with all guides certified in Wilderness First Aid, ORCKA Canoe Tripping Level I, Swift Water Rescue, and years of experience guiding remote northern wilderness adventures.

Sample Itinerary
09:30: Meet at the Paris portage to sign in and arrange transport up to Cambridge.
10:15: In Cambridge, a brief discussion will be conducted by your guide(s) to review safe canoeing procedures and proper paddling techniques and to give a breakdown of the day's itinerary.
10:30: Once one the water, we just go with the flow. The gentle current will help us along as we paddle through Canada's unique and beautiful Carolinian Forest. We'll have the opportunity to discuss some of the special features of the region and even stop to explore some of the natural and historical sites that make this area so important.
12:00: About halfway along, we'll pull up to shore in the community of Glen Morris for lunch in the shade and a chance to stretch the legs.
12:30: When our bellies are full, we'll pack up and continue downstream where the river valley narrows and the current picks up its pace.
01:00: After a reminder from your guide(s) about river safety, we'll splish and splash through a couple of short stretches of easy moving water and even, time permitting, stop for a refreshing swim in the current.
01:45: All cooled off, we'll raft our boats together and let the river do the work, giving us a chance to dry off in the sun and enjoy the scenery before picking up our paddles for the final stretch into Paris.
03:30: Our take-out is at the portage where we left our vehicles. Those interested are invited to join us at the pub for a few more laughs to finish off the day.
This trip can be altered in many ways. This is just a sample itinerary; the actual schedule is reflective of the needs of the group. If more time is needed for exploration, or hiking, your guide may choose to alter the itinerary slightly
