Reviews

[Natalya · Rating 3 out of 5]

An easy, leisurely read. Especially pleasant when looking forward to summer adventures in the bush. Kevin's humour can be cringe worthy at times.

[Mike Parkes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Short day trip and overnight canoe/kayak routes close to the GTA, when you don't have time for a longer trip. Handy to have a collection of these routes in one place.
