Trips

A great chance to meet new friends and learn wilderness paddling skills in a relaxed, social environment!

Paddle Manitoba offers canoe and kayak trips for those members who want an introduction to the adventure of paddling in a wilderness setting. Volunteer leaders will assist participants by offering guidance in packing and preparation as desired. A level of experience will be specified for each trip depending on location, but those new to paddling are encouraged to participate.

Come join us on an extended long weekend paddle on the ELA lakes east of Kenora. This is one of the prettiest series of lakes in traditional Canadian Shield canoe country. The trip will be for 4 days and 3 nights with portages, so some canoe tripping experience is recommended. We will leave on Friday morning, July 30 and return Monday evening, August 2. The trip will be limited to 6 canoes plus your guides – book early. Participants must be Paddle Manitoba members (see: http://www.paddle.mb.ca/memberships/index.php)but you can join at the start of the trip.
