I doing some research on doing some wilderness canoe tripping camping/fishing not hunting. I see quite a few rivers in Quebec that look interisting.

What type of restrictions on camping and travel on them would any of you know about.

Just starting to research it any info might help.

You might want to checkout Algonquin Park in Ontario. There are some excellent remote access points in the northeast corner. Lots of fishing, loons, moose, bear, and wolf. They restrict access so overcrowding is not a problem.

I try and stay away from parks prefering wilderness areas that are not parks.

Looks like a wanona kelvar 17 footer I guess.

I just brought a Bell carbon last summer its a joy to paddle and carry.


thanks for the info.

Here is a link to 50 documented canoe routes in Sask.

Many of them are on the Churchill River Syatem which is a mix of rivers and connected lakes.

The trips are fairly well laid out giving possible vehicle drop sites and take out points, difficulty of rapids, location and length of portages, how they can be found, and some suggestion as to camp sites. There is no special permission needed for wilderness travel but of course one should leave info on where you are headed and when you are expecting to return. The trips vary from a couple of days to fairly long journeys. It is possible to travel virtually the width of the prov by joining many of the trips into one. For example trip 1 is 240 miles and connects with trip 29 that is 138 miles.And then on to trip 51 folowed by ......

I have done about 4 of the trips and find the guide is a very helpful resourse for planning.However in my case it was 20 or so years ago.

Some of these have become very popular and the suggested camp sites have been over used as it is a very fragile area. Trippers may find they need to re arrange each days plans so as to find better camps with easier availability of wood for fires.

Here is an overview which contains info on planning, climate , aboriginal rock paintings and literally dozens of topics related to wilderness tripping.
