I remember that one.. I thought that the Allagash was enough.. or the St John.. The Allagash shuttle can take no time whatsoever if you mail your car keysspare set of course ( with corresponding info to which car) and mail to the shuttle driver then take off from your prearranged point ( usually Chamberlain Bridge) and pick up your car seven to ten days later. Or you can drive your car to the end and then take the van into the starting point.. lessee thats is some eight hours on the road extra. And they are lumpy roads.
Shuttles are an inevitability in Northern Ontario on rivers. Sometimes can be done by train. Like the Polar Bear out of Moosonee but the problem is for the Missinaibi River you want to get back to your car in say Mattice.. The train goes to Cochrane.. Not Mattice some two hours away. So you have to figure that one out.. Currently there is still an outfitter in Mattice that will drive your car.
Another very deceiving one is the shuttle between Everglades City and Flamingo.. Some 100 miles by water ( depending on which route you take ) the shuttle one way between those point can take four hours.
