Long Live the Canoe

Who canoes anymore? We do and we’re proud of it!
Here at Ridge Wilderness we are truly passionate about paddling. To us, it’s not about sport, skills, and serious paddling – no, no, no - it’s about building a community on the water and we feel the canoe is the perfect vessel. Here’s our short list of why we love canoeing, in no particular order!
  1. Want to go for an adventure on the water with a group of friends, family, students? Our 25 foot Voyageur Canoes hold up to 12 people - no need to worry about the skill levels of your group. You’ll be gliding along taking in breathtaking views, sharing stories, and experiencing the adventure, All Together!
  2. Have you ever tried to paddle a canoe and ended up going in circles? Don’t get frustrated – get paddling with Ridge Wilderness. We’ve been there (paddling in circles) and have designed our courses - from Basic to Advanced, in lakes, rivers and oceans - to teach the skills and show how crazy fun canoeing is!
  3. There would be no Canada without the canoe! There is a rich history of canoeing in Canada – its development being vital to First Nations and the fur trade. At Ridge Wilderness we celebrate canoe heritage in everything we do – whether taking out school groups for our Floating Classroom program, or teaching the basics of canoeing.
