Welcome to Canadian Canoe Routes

 

Last Edited 28 March 2022

Welcome to Canadian Canoe Routes (CCR) website!!

Inside, you'll find hundreds of route descriptions, trip reports, gear information and reviews,  recipes, tips, tricks and techniques and active discussion forums.  In addition there is a  wealth of Route Resource Information.  All of Canada is included & selected areas of the US.

And of course, the heart & soul of CCR is its members - a large community of paddlers from across the country & even quite a few from other countries - in particular, our neighbour to the south, the US!

The CCR website is owned and operated by the Wilderness Canoe Association (WCA).    Support in terms of manpower and website expenses are covered by online advertising and WCA membership.   The WCA is committed to keeping the CCR website open and free to the public.  So please help us support this by signing up as a WCA member today. 

 

Add Your Trip Report to our Trip Report Database HERE!!

Sharing your reports of your canoe & kayak trips is one of the best features of CCR - access info, technical information, trip journals, gps tracks, maps, advice, photos etc. can all be included.  If you have your trip in a pdf file, it can be uploaded as is.  Please share your experiences & knowledge with all CCR members
