Canoeing Plans for 2026?

[Fred c dobbs]

Only plan is to get on the water every chance I get. Mostly local lakes but I'd like to do the Allegheny Water Trail and the Clarion River but the water flow on both can be a narrow window.

Probably mostly local paddling. My son turned 18 last week, and we are doing a big "coming of age" trip this year. Unfortunately, work would not let me have 7 uninterrupted weeks of PTO, so our original prospect of doing the NFCT went kerput. Now it looks like a 4-week driving tour of Canada and the northern US, with the furthest point being Deadhorse, AK. Hopefully we can do a little rental based canoing along the way, maybe a couple short overnighters.

I’m making a bit of a career change this year and to kick it off am doing a special trip. I’m hoping to be out for 7 to 8 weeks travelling from the Winnipeg area to Sault Saint Marie via the Path of the Paddle route and then Lake Superior. This is a fairly local trip for me so costs will be minimal and there will be lots of great history to learn along the way. As primarily a river tripper in the past, I’m really looking forward to paddling Lake Superior in my new to me Mad River Monarch.

I hope to get to Florida in the spring or fall for a week or so of paddling, perhaps for the last time.

Base camping trips in the Jersey Pinelands and Adirondacks.

The WCHA Assembly, from which I hope to sneak away for a half day trip or two in the Dacks.

Some "local" paddles with the Greater Connecticut/NY/MA/RI Region motley crew I'm trying to herd.

I certainly hope for all the above . . . because . . . I've custom ordered the sixth "final canoe of my life" since 2008.

I didn't know you could canoe at the Mustang Ranch in Nevada.

My plans keep switching around, but the most likely thing is to try to get down the Mégiscane again.

And what would that be?
