New on Canoeing.com: Far North Paddling
5 Jun
We’re thrilled to announce that Canoeing.com has a new section for the advanced paddler: Far North Paddling! Canada’s Far North remains one of the ultimate canoeing destinations–if you’re ready to brave mosquitos and black flies, the solitude, and the exposure (the treeless tundra gets nearly 24 hours of daylight) it promises an experience like no other.
Brian Johnston, Canadian canoeist and and volunteer editor of the Paddle Canada Canoe program, has paddled every kind of Arctic river there is: swift descents from the mountains into the Mackenzie Valley, subarctic rivers emptying into the Arctic Ocean, traverses from the Northwest Territories to Nunavut, and drainages into Hudson Bay. He lent his expertise to Canoeing.com, writing a comprehensive section on what to bring on an Arctic canoe trip. Visit the Ultimate Guide to Far North paddling HERE.
