Ontario and Québec offer some of the best canoeing in the world. Here we have offered some of our favourite whitewater rivers. Packages include topographical maps, access points, and all other additional information possible, such as the locations of campsites, portages, and cold springs.
You might want to pull out your road maps to help locate some of the small northern towns referenced here.
