Canadian Canoe Routes |
A fabulous page with tons of canoe route descriptions for locations across Canada, but most of the info. is about Ontario (The page was formerly know as "Ontario Canoe Routes"). This is a must for anyone looking for info. on canoe trips. The forums are the best I've ever seen! They're a great way to get advice from other paddlers, and they have a great sense of community! Also includes great info/technique pages and many other great features. Definitely check this page out if you even think you like canoeing! This is my all-time favourite website! |

TOPORAMA |
This is a government of Canada page that has online topographical maps of Canada , now down to a scale of 1:50 000! This is an excellent site to visit to check out the basic shapes of lakes where you're going. It will also allow you to easily determine which maps you will need for a trip. There is an excellent search feature that allows you to enter any place name, click on one of the choices it gives you, and the program will zoom you directly to that spot! Beyond just being really cool, it's also a very useful tool! Check it out for sure! (Yes it even runs on my old 486...just not very well!) |

Equipped to Survive |
This is another great page. It has tons of information on survival gear and techniques. This is the place to go before buying any piece of survival gear. Doug Ritter has described what to look for in survival equipment, so you get the most practical gear. Be sure to check out Interactive Survival and The Survival Forum. |

Bluewaters Wilderness Canoeing Homepage |
Blair Caron has put together an excellent paddling page! It's a wonderful spot to waste some time while dreaming of a trip, or an even better place to plan for your trip. Blair has lots of route information, maps, trip logs and campsite ratings. Also check out the great photo galleries, or a tribute to Bill Mason. Thanks Blair for such a great page! It's well worth a visit! |

A Quiet Journey |
Fantastic site with amazing photos, panaramas, "virtual canoe trips" and many other great time wasters. If you're sitting inside the house in the middle of winter, this site will make you want to paddle NOW! Truly astonishing photography! Most of the information on this site from the BWCAW/Quetico area, but of course the info tends to apply to most other areas as well. Check it out! |

tahoe's BWCAW Pages |
A fantastic site! Packed with information on canoe tripping in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, but most of the information applies equally to other areas. Check out the "Tenderfoot's Planning Guide" for a top-notch intro to canoe tripping. Also check out gear lists, photos, and loads of other great stuff on this site! |

Margot and Vernon Neis Wilderness Canoe Trips |
Marg and Vern have certainly put together an impressive list of canoe trips, both in Canada and abroad (U.S., New Zealand, Australia). They have posted fabulously interesting and informing journal entries, maps, photos and stories! Great for a read! I can only hope I get to paddle as many rivers as these two, and I certainly hope I'm still at it when I'm their age!! |

GearFinder |
Backpacker Magazine's GearFinder. "The most comprehensive guide to hiking and camping gear anywhere." GearFinder searches for gear that meet the criteria you enter. Great for narrowing down the search when looking for a new piece of equipment. Choose from searches for Packs, boots, sleeping bags, liner bags, bivy sacks, tents, stoves, filters, sleeping pads, and overbags. One of my favourite sites! |

If you want history, repair tips, technique ideas, etc. about cycling, Sheldon is the man. |
