Yes it happens, usually not because of canoes but it is definitely possible. In the Great Lakes the major issue is zebra mussels. It's very easy to transport zebra mussels into the lakes north of Superior...

If wildfire smoke bothers you get ready for a dust cloud from the Sahara which is currently affecting parts of the Caribbean and is expected to arrive in the US later this week. https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/sahara-dust-1.7549914

I bought one like this a few years ago on Temu, simple and effective, works perfectly. It was less than CA$10, they have gone up due to tariffs.

It's a small lot but I wouldn't hesitate to park there. I have parked at other Via stations.

I really doubt it's Royalex, RX boats rarely if ever come with flotation chambers. The "4X" in the serial number is confusing, it's not one of the more common codes and may have been used for more than one model. A close up image of the scrape along the keel line would help identify the...

Yes yes and yes but here is the main problem.......... I like to paddle with people at least 20 years younger than I am, these people tend to have jobs, families and other assorted obligations with much less flexibility than an old guy (not excessively old yet) who has been semi-retired since...

DM sent with some ideas for you.

Christian beat me (again) to posting the report, I do plan to go back to the original thread and make some comments. I've done a few previous early Spring trips where small amount of ice and snow in the bush was encountered but nothing of the same magnitude as on this trip.

Three boats.... Tom in an esquif Canyon Christian in a Nova Craft Moisie Me (Ben) in my yellow Mohawk XL14 Fuddle is my bow "paddler", rides with me in the Mohawk. His full name is Fuddle Wuddle and he's from Indonesia.

Up until the takeover by SEPAQ the canoe aspects of La Verendrye were operated by FQCK (https://canot-kayak.qc.ca/) an organization dedicated to paddling throughout Quebec. They were great to work with as opposed to SEPAQ which is really only interested in front country camping and the...

Back at home just in time for an enjoyable ice event.....that would be my Leafs beating Florida Panthers and extending the series to a game 7 on Sunday. Interesting reading the comments here, speculations were mostly accurate and in spite of the failure it provided some new to me paddling...

Two week trip on the Megiscane in the "near north" of Quebec, we (it's a group of 3 solo's) may have to dodge some icebergs as it's been a very late Spring this year. It's a mix of river and lake travel, a scattering of rapids. We will access the put-in via the train from Senneterre and they...

Here is one in "action".

Simple Google search....I don't know why some are red, the page doesn't explain it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rivers_of_Idaho

Well one good thing for you. For decades the Canadian train departed Toronto in the evening and would drop you at Peterbell around 2:00am, not very nice as there isn't much of anything in the way of camping there except the ditch beside the tracks which is a terrible place to sleep given the...

You are booked on the wrong train! You will get dumped off at Peterbell and miss Missinabie Lake, The height of land portage, shorten your trip by 5 or 6 days and lose the ability to say you paddled the entire river. You should be booked on the Sudbury to White River train (route #185) if you...

You want this one https://www.viarail.ca/en/explore-our-destinations/stations/ontario/sudbury You DO NOT want this one https://www.viarail.ca/en/explore-our-destinations/stations/ontario/sudbury-jct

Is it one of these?

Not sure if it's still true as I avoid Provincial Parks like the plague, when you register for your back country permits at an Ontario Park you are given a trash bag, the bag has a list of basic do's and don't printed on it. Regardless if users read it or not, the slobs just laugh and go on...

it's 2025, it's really too late to change the ways of most Gen X or Millennials (WAY too late for boomers that are slobs).
