Manitoba Canoe Routes: Berard, Real
During the 1960s and 70s, noted Manitoba artist and naturalist Real Berard re-explored several of the provinces most culturally significant canoe routes and produced an outstanding set of thirteen maps to match. Not intended as navigational charts, the maps are replete with illustrations and notes which expand on the accompanying theme of each journey, and often feature multiple rivers. The maps have inspired generations of canoeists to experience the wonders of these historic waterways, and used in conjunction with topographic maps they will provide great depth to your experience. Mr. Berard is currently working on a Roseau River guide.
