Unexpectedly, Saskatchewan is a great place for canoeing. Take a look at a map of northern Saskatchewan; the place is half lakes and rivers.

This is a summary of the canoeing trips we have done in Saskatchewan. I started way back in 1982. The first trips were really very basic ones, done in the Prince Albert National Park. I remember being thrilled about "having to do a portage". Prince Albert Park had "wilderness campsites" which included pit toilets and firewood. Our trips have gradually moved up to bigger lakes, gotten more remote, and included bigger whitewater. It has been an easy, almost gentle progression. Some trips are memorable for everything going right, while others are memorable for us rising to the challenge.

My team, Brent and Martin and Ken and Michael (along with other hired guns from the Lac Brochet team) went and won the Yukon Canoe Quest 2006! Here is Brent's summary: (click here)

I paddled in the Saskatchewan Centennial Canoe race! 1000km. across Saskatchewan. 25 foot Voyageur-style cedar strip canoe built by Martin Bernardin. It was great. I still need to create a web page for this trip. In the meantime, some links to other information:

Does this look like fun or what!?
