Top 70 Canoe Routes of Ontario

Top 70 Canoe Routes of Ontario is the third, expanded edition of Kevin Callan’s definitive guide to paddling routes in Ontario, and includes 10 more of Kevin Callan's favourite canoe excursions. While some of these routes are well known to paddlers province-wide, such as the Bonnechere River, others are hidden secrets, like the ambitious and magical Woodland Caribou Park.

The routes range from two-day paddles to week-long expeditions and are divided amongst nine regions: Southern Ontario, Cottage Country, Algonquin, Central Ontario, Eastern Ontario, Temagami, Ontario's Near North, Northern Ontario and Northwestern Ontario.

Top 70 Canoe Routes of Ontario gives paddlers all the information they need to complete each route, including accurate maps of all access points, portage lengths, important river features and campsites -- all embellished with historical notes and Kevin's trademark humour. He also includes a detailed "Before You Go" section in which he shares the expertise that has earned him the him the title of Canada's Happy Camper.
