Trip Planning
Temagami is a large region and you may need some help orienting yourself to it. You'll start your canoe trip with confidence when you take advantage of our various planning services.
Route Consultations
Our outfitters have over 100 years of combined canoe tripping experience and are long-time Temagami residents. Our personal experience and local knowledge yield a “beyond the guidebook” trip that’s customized just for you. We take pride in designing a canoe route that suits your particular desires, abilities, and timeframe.
Maps
We stock a complete inventory of Temagami canoe route maps and topographic maps, and also have an extensive map library on a wide range of Ontario and Quebec rivers. We’re especially proud to stock the Temagami Adventure Planning Map, carefully researched and produced by local conservation organization Friends of Temagami.
Park Permits
All paddlers are required to purchase a permit if they intend to camp overnight within any of Temagami’s backcountry parks; permits are purchased online through Ontario Parks. We are happy to walk you through the booking process, outlining which nights you’ll spend in parks vs Crown land.
Shuttles
Most of the vehicle access to Temagami’s backcountry is via logging roads. These roads can be confusing and rough on your vehicle. If that doesn’t sound like much fun, let us do the driving with our convenient and worry-free shuttle service. Secure parking for your vehicle is available free of charge at Smoothwater.
