Where have we all paddled?

[Erica]

In the interest of helping with starting new threads; I was wondering how widespread our canoe (not kayak, not raft) trips have taken us. For large countries such as the US, Canada, or Australia, you might want to identify the state or province.

Glenn, if you can think of a catchier title to this thread, feel free to edit. I know we’ve had people - I’m thinking of someone who was tripping in France and posting about it. It would be interesting to see where we have all been.

I’ll start. I’ve paddled in Illinois, Wisconsin (as a child), the Adirondacks, Arizona, Florida, Georgia. Quebec, Ontario and Saskatchewan. Sweden. Switzerland. France.

I’m sure many of you have traveled widely. Please let us know where.

“Where have we all paddled?”

There is probably not a place that we all have paddled.

Here is my list in the order of how I did them.

Pa, started out with trips on the Susquahhana, then canoe fishing and whitewater.

NY, Took a long weekend whitewater course for my Honeymoon in 1990, on the upper Hudson at Glen Falls.

Alaska, I moved to Ak in 91 and mostly did trips in Southcentral and interior Ak with one trip to the Arctic.

Florida, My Mother moved there in the early 2000s and I would trip there in the winter in the Everglades

NY, I'm mentioning NY again because my first experience was only a WW course. I didn't really start tripping there until maybe 2018.

Maine, I took one trip to Maine where I met Robin for a very good and memorable trip. I definitely plan to go back.

Next on my to do list is Canada. Probably start with Algonquin or Tamagami.
