UP THE CREEK A PADDLER'S GUIDE TO ONTARIO Kevin Callan

One of Ontario's most popular canoeing guides takes you on the province's best canoe routes. Each route - ranging from a two-day paddle in Frontenac Provincial Park to a week-long expedition down Pukaskwa's White River - includes detailed descriptions, maps of all access points, accurate portage lengths, and advice on everything from running rapids to shuttle arrangements. Callan provides plenty of history and folklore, as well as entertaining anecdotes of his encounters with wildlife, weather, and paddlers of all persuasions. Madawaska, Algonquin, Magnatawan, French, Wolf, Pickerel, Killarney, Spanish, Temagami, Missinaibi, Quetico - just some of the places you'll travel to in this lively guide by a lively guide. (We braved the wilds with the author on a three-day Algonquin trip this summer, and we're still alive to tell you that Kevin really knows his stuff. Well, except that one sound at the crack of dawn, which Kevin assured us was a pistachio-breasted nuthatch but I still insist was a pterodactyl.) 6 X 9 Softcover 120 pages, original maps colour insert $16.95 CDN - $13.50 US
