Synopsis

Thirty-seven of the best paddling routes to be found from sea to sea to sea. Some of Canada's finest canoeists relate first-hand accounts of their favorite canoe trips -- lake and river, freshwater and saltwater, wild and urban, peaceful and harrowing -- in each province and territory. This unprecedented collection also features 24 profiles of such paddling luminaries as James Raffan, the legendary Mason family, Claudia Kerckhoff-van Wijk, Mark Scriver, Wally Schaber, George Luste, Alex Hall, Ken Madsen, Kevin Callan, Gary and Joanie McGuffin, Hap Wilson, Kirk Wipper and others. In addition, three noted conservationists outline plans for protecting our wild waterways.
