TEMAGAMI CANOEING

CANOEING TEMAGAMI - If you’ve never been on an extended or remote canoeing trip before then I would like to encourage you to visit Temagami, you just couldn’t ask for a better introduction to the joys of canoeing. There are thousands upon thousands of miles of canoe routes and waterways that interconnect for you to weave your way through this vast expanse of nature at it’s best, portage to unseen lakes and rivers to some of the most remote areas of wilderness that Ontario has to offer which makes Temagami a premier canoeing destination in Ontario, Canada.

The Temagami District comprises more than 5,000 square miles (10,500 sq. km.) of magnificent waterways, picturesque landscapes and pristine wilderness. It includes the world famous Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park, The Sturgeon River and Obabika River Provincial Park, The Solace Provincial Park, Makobe and Pinetree Corridor Provincial Parks which covers over in excess of 3,200 miles (4,800 km). The canoeing routes loop around for easy traveling in its traditional flat water paddling water system with over 20 canoe routes to choose from.

The Obabika River Provincial Park is known as "Big Pine Country" where the cliffs are lined with old growth pine in all it’s splendor and it runs directly into Lake Temagami which is just an open gate to other waterways that interconnect these canoeing routes that stretch as far as the Ottawa River, with a lot of areas being wetlands which is a prime habitat for moose and deer. The canoe trip begins with some instructions on basic paddling techniques which will make your canoeing trip into the remote Temagami wilderness more pleasurable and enjoyable as it should be by starting off at a comfortable pace while you become accustomed to the water conditions and newly learned skills.

Canoe Vacations and Fun Canoeing Getaways

By Charles Kassotis

Water sports are often at the center of a family’s or an individual’s recreational schedule. Water skiing, speed boating, sailing or parasailing, scuba diving, and fishing are just some of the many exciting activities that you can enjoy on a stream, pond, lake, or sea. Depending on where you live and the places you want to visit while on vacation, you can probably find a suitable body of water for canoeing, a popular favorite of the water-loving sports crowd. You can rent a canoe or bring your own, and do it alone or take along a friend, making this one of the more versatile water activities that is readily available. Whether for a weekend getaway or a two-week vacation, you can enjoy a leisurely canoe ride as part of your fun schedule away from home.

1. For less experienced or younger canoeists, try paddling around a pond or down a slow stream. This will help get the paddlers used to the momentum needed to keep the boat moving along. Canoeing in shallow water lets beginners learn to navigate water with little danger of drowning, especially with two or more people together. If one ends up in the water, the other may be able to help pull him out.

2. Those with intermediate canoeing skills may want to take the boat out onto a lake in the area. With deeper waters, more of a current, and a higher volume of traffic, the canoeing experience will be more challenging, thus helping the paddlers to improve existing skills or to develop new ones. For this type of outing, the occupants of the canoe should wear life jackets and bring along safety equipment, like a radio and any needed supplies.

3. A more challenging outing can be experienced in mountain streams, parkland lakes, or seawaters. These areas should be undertaken by only experienced canoeists, as unexpected currents, flood waters, or obstacles can throw a boater off-guard. A good idea would be to take a boating safety course first and learn how to manage a canoe in adverse circumstances, such as a boat leak, illness, or unexpected severe weather.

If you take your own canoe on one of these trips, be sure to check the boat for leaks, and make sure it is clean and ready for use. Don’t forget to see if the life preservers or jackets operate, as they should. Presumably, a rental boat would have undergone the same sort of inspection. When putting any boat into the water, make sure it appears seaworthy, and that you have all the necessary equipment to make a safe trip, especially if you’re headed to the wilderness.

Canoeing is fun but challenging. Learn boating safety and first aid practices in case a problem should occur, though hopefully none will. Depending on where you will be canoeing, find out who the maritime authorities are so you can get help or report problems, if necessary. Always take a communications device with you in case of emergency.
