These two canoe trips are located in the far Northwestern portion of the state. They are a more difficult and remote paddling experience. Participants should be very comfortable with canoeing in these conditions. Very good swimming skills are needed. Participants will be camping along the lake, at remote campsites not easily accessible by vehicles.Transportation will be by bus. Amenities are very limited in these areas. Tenting will be the norm so bring a sleeping bag and pad, water shoes, and a drybag for your gear.
