Canoe Trip Readiness Checklist and Resources

We have compiled a checklist of basic tasks and procedures related to backcountry canoe trip travel in Algonquin Park. While comprehensive, this list won’t cover every conceivable detail or situation. Please visit the links to various resources included in the text for more information.
