Ontario’s Blue-Water Lakes
Waters so blue you won’t believe your eyes.

Ontario Canoe and Kayak Clubs on Facebook
When you can’t be out on the river or lake, you can still immerse yourself in a community of like-minded paddlers.
Solo paddling isn’t without its charms. But most of us who call ourselves paddlers appreciate being part of a larger community of like-minded people. There are dozens of Ontario-based Facebook paddling clubs. Joining one could be your entry into regular group paddles, seeing new areas and meeting new people. Or it could simply start the glow of a daily dose of inspiration and interaction.
