Hi
I hope you are all healthy and doing well. I'm a new member here and would highly appreciate some advice.
When Covid is over, my best friend and I want to fly to Montreal, and spend about 7 days on a canoe-camping trip. That being said, we were looking for a place that wouldn’t require to drive to long from the airport.
La Vérendrye Wildlife Reserve made a good impression, but
Algonquin would not be much further.
So, my first question: Which area should we choose? We are looking for a more remote experience, no other people if possible, and preferably not too big lakes and rivers (we enjoy more paddling on narrow rivers embedded in forests. We are experienced with canoe trips, but have so far only been on some trips in Europe.
Thanks to this great website here we also were looking already a bit closer on some route suggestions for La Vérendrye. Circuit 35 and 77 were looking good. Would those meet our expectations of a quieter trip on small waters?
Or did we miss out another area that someone would suggest for an unforgettable canoe camping trip in Canada?
As said, we’d like to fly into Montreal because this is the best option form Switzerland, so we are a bit limited to this area (I guess driving 4-5h is ok)
Thanks already for your help! Stay healthy and looking forward getting some great insider tips
With best regards, Andri
