This is the trip you have been hearing about. This is the Adventure you have wanted to experience. Now you can! Join Powers Outdoors Adventures for an international adventure into the Great White North. Paddle experience IS required. After a drive North into Canada, we will hop a train with all of our kayaks, canoes and gear. We will paddle the Agawa River located in Ontario, Canada. We will camp on the river and alongside Lake Superior. We will eat, sleep, and breathe the great outdoors and all that the Canadian backcountry has to offer. On this trip, you will enjoy some of the most incredible scenery, paddle some amazing whitewater, and enjoy it all in good company with gourmet style meals. This adventure will span 4 days, 3 nights, and we will travel nearly a thousand miles. The cost of the trip is $540 per person and includes the following: All transportation (including train ticket), all meals, all camping fees, all permit fees, all guide fees, a hand-out on what to pack, and a P.O.A. T-shirt.
DETAILS: We will depart from the Rockford Powers Outdoors around Noon on Wednesday, May 13th. (Please arrive by 11:00am to load up your gear.) Once we are loaded up, we will head north for Canada. You will want to eat before arriving Wednesday (or bring a lunch for the road) as we will not stop for food until dinner. Once we reach Canada, we will set up camp near Sault Ste Marie for the night. Dinner will be served at camp. Friday morning, a light continental breakfast will be served. We will then load all of our boats and gear onto the Algoma Central Train at the Soo. After the train has been loaded, we will take a two hour drive north to where we spot the cars. We will be stopping for breakfast along this drive, which is an optional cost. We will spot the cars and then hop aboard the train around 1:00pm. (we will eat lunch while waiting for the train). After a 45 minute train ride, we should be on the river by around 2:00pm. We will hit some good rapids and pull off the river around 6:30 pm. Dinner will be provided at the campsite. In the morning, you will awake to pancakes and bacon before we hit the river. There will be a full day of paddling on Friday, and lunch is provided on the river. We will pull off the river around 4:00pm, load up the gear and boats, and head to our campsite at Pancake Bay, on Lake Superior. After a trip to the Agawa Indian Outpost, and possibly a nap, a steak dinner awaits for dinner. There will be optional paddling on Lake Superior that evening, depending on the weather. On Saturday morning, we will break camp, have breakfast, and begin the dreary trek back home. We should arrive back in Rockford by 4:00pm. If you sign up, you will be provided with a detailed list of required items and suggested gear for the trip. You will be entitled to 10% off any purchase at any of the Powers Outdoors for items that you will be using/taking on the trip.
