Paddling

This feature now available on our Backroad GPS Maps!

Whether you are looking for a place to beetle about the lake, explore the dramatic coast or take an extended trip into the Canadian backcountry, our Backroad Mapbooks are your source for canoeing in Canada. Not only do we list all of the parks and recreation areas that are popular with canoeists or kayakers, but we also have a separate Paddling section that includes popular lakes, canoe routes and even rivers that can be explored in a canoe.

On the maps you will see various canoe routes, ocean paddling opportunities and river routes clearly marked on the maps. From access points to portages and notable rapids we try to show it all. In addition to the maps, our writing notes the main features of the routes. So if you are new to an area or are looking for a unique backcountry canoe trip, then let Backroad Mapbooks be your guide.
