I have heard it's 10 dollars to park here and is accessed through a gate that one of the farmers opens. Anyone know if its open past October?

Just got this email from Ontario Parks. I get the advantages of knowing ahead of time where you'll be sleeping, but there's something really nice of being able to meander at will. Find a great site? Spend two nights there. Rain coming down soon? Pull over at the next available spot.

What does everyone else think?

He finished in July I believe and I cant wait until he releases this documentary.

Any ideas when and or if maybe he will release it in chunks?

I cant imagine how he will edit/release it considering it was almost a year long trip.

Hi I need help choosing my next tent. Can you guys please help? I am looking for a tent, that will be used for canoeing with grown ups and also short trips with my wife, a toddler and a baby. When the family is camping, we will travel by cargo-bike. Also my wife is new to camping in a tent.

So I guess I am looking for a 4 person tent, that packs down quite small, weight is not as important as space. I am wondering if it is important to have good height in the tent, when having a baby? It is not an option to buy multiple tents.

Do you guys have any suggestions for a good tent, that has a ok small packed size, is comfortable for a small family?

Four hour video, should be a blast!

Back from my first backcountry trip a few weeks ago and figured I should look into some sort of emergency communicator. Will a next-gen smartphone do the trick? I've heard most of them have satellite coverage for calls in case of emergency (at least in North America).

I know these are deadly and to be avoided at all costs. Is there an authoritative source on American rivers and the locations of their dams? I looking to paddle the Dan River from just downstream of Danville, VA to our lake house some 80 miles away. It doesn’t look like there are any dams along the way, but I’d love some reassurance.

Recently an aramid pay 16’ came up for sale second hand in my area. I’ve done several back country trips over the last few years and want to get deeper into the area. This means portages. The lake I’m travelling on can get quite rough and while I have some experience in a canoe I’m no expert. I would like a canoe that can handle taking 2 people into this kind of 3 day trip. But also that I can solo by myself on occasion for days on a lake.

Would an aramid be durable enough for this type of trip?

Is the Pal a good design for what I intend to use it for?

Or should I just wait for the spring and aim for a tuff stuff prospector?

Here's a trip report video from 18OCT-20OCT in the st regis canoe area. Got some great video of the fall leaves and cool shots of the whole basin from up on long pond mountain.

Cheers!

More specifically what is the longest continuous stretch of water that you can paddle a boat down in the contiguous US?

- It doesn't need to have the same name all the way through. eg Snake-Salmon is OK
- It ends when the current goes away, whether from reaching the ocean or running into a reservoir.
- the entire river doesn't need to be undammed, just the section that counts.
- It can't include a waterfall or class VI rapid even if it isn't manmade. I'm looking for a continuous stretch of boatable water, no portages.

And to disqualify the Missouri-Mississippi (Gavins Point Dam, SD to the Gulf of mexico), because at 1800+ miles it blows everything else out of the water, I'm gonna add that the river can't have commercial barge traffic because they just ruins the vibe.

When I try to Google the question it brings up the Yellowstone river, because it's the largest undammed river at 692 miles. But I don't think it's the right answer here.

The Yampa-Green-Colorado River to Lake Powell is the longest I could find at around 800 river miles. I know it goes through Cataract Canyon and other class V rapids.

It's kinda hard to find river distances online. Maybe an easier question to answer first would be what is the longest as the crow flies distance between two points on a river you can paddle between? In that case the Yampa-Green-Colorado would be around 270 miles.

I wasn't really sure the right sub to ask but I decided to ask here because I might potentially turn the answer to this question into an extended paddle trip.

I'm looking for something on the eastern side. I have done the James in Va and a few sections of the New in Virginia/WVA. Would be interested in meeting others as well who like fishing from a canoe.

Has anyone fished this river via canoe? I am looking to narrow down a section to fish next year and was looking for a multi-trip that would provide good fishing but not a lot of powerboat traffic. SmithVille landing to Chippewa was an idea I had in mind.

Hey folks, looking for a midweek getaway I was wondering if anyone has been to lake yarrunga lately and has any information to share?
