The Canadian side of Lake Superior has 2,400 km of wilderness shoreline for you to paddle, but like every good fishing hole, many of the routes are kept fairly secret. David H. Johnston has been paddling on Lake Superior for over 25 years, and he’s spilling the beans on where to go, how to get there, what you’ll see and what makes that route…superior.
This talk will appeal to both beginners and experienced paddlers and campers alike.
