Canoe and Kayak Routes
Experience It!
Escape into the interior...the interior of Ontario's Natural Retreat, that is, by canoe or kayak. Ontario's Natural Retreat offers a diverse choice of paddling routes for all skill levels. Only have a couple of hours to spare? The route for you is here! Have the luxury of several days? That route is here, too! Want to bring the family? No problem! From rivers to inland lakes to sea kayaking on Lake Huron, Ontario's Natural Retreat has the route to suit. Local outfitters are ready and waiting to equip you for your journey.
NOTE:
The Rankin River below Boat Lake is impassable.
We suggest that you do not paddle it at this time.
Things to think about
- Canadian Coast Guard Approved life jackets, a whistle and a bailing device are a must on all water vessels.
- Always let someone know the route you plan to travel.
- Let your creativity flow while the river flows by signing up for a "paddle & art" package!
- Bring a camera & bring home memories to last a lifetime!
- Paddling is fun, but can be dangerous too! Check weather & water conditions BEFORE you set out on your trip.
Experience Required
Throughout Ontario's Natural Retreat are less well-known and less-travelled canoe routes not easily accessible to the public and the average paddler. A challenging experience awaits the well-seasoned paddler along these less-familiar waterways. For up-to-date information and water conditions, contact local outfitters or Bruce County Tourism.
