Have you ever been outside Toronto ?? This country is covered with rivers and other waterways...how do you think the natives travelled around so much. There's PLENTY of canoeing opportunities all along the way...you don't have to travel to a national park.... The OP was asking about canoe tripping, nor canoeing. I am well aware that there are lots of lakes and rivers in southern Ontario. Most of them run through private property, so there are few places to camp. Algonquin Park is about the closest place where there are wilderness canoe routes with established camp sites. FYI - There's a WHOLE world outside of Southern Ontario...read the freakin' subject line TORONTO to HALIFAX...roughly 1600 kms.... Then perhaps you can tell us some place somewhere along a reasonable route that offers canoe tripping, as opposed to paddling around in a canoe. |
