Paddling and Hiking in Ontario's Southern Shield Country

A valuable guide to memorable excursions. The single-day excursions in this book explore the southern part of Ontario's rugged shield country. Combining hiking and paddling in equal measure, these wilderness trips are designed to return to their starting points so that no car shuttling is required. The paddling is entirely flatwater, with only an occasional gentle current to navigate. Portages are infrequent and generally short. The book also suggests alternative routes for those seeking a more strenuous outing.
