A week of rivers in the Canadian Shield

The rivers of the Canadian Shield are not all easy to access and are often best tackled for the first time with a guide. This the is rationale behind Madawaska Kanu Centre​’s Week of Rivers, a five-day river running retreat in the southern Canadian Shield. Read what Adrick Brock and Claudia van Wijk have to say in the latest issue of the Paddler ezine here!

5 star ratingApprendre le kayak de rivière dans un cadre enchanteur! Mon mari, moi-même et notre fils de 23 ans avons beaucoup aimé notre semaine de kayak débutant avec notre prof Les. Beaucoup de plaisir, d’apprentissage et un super mélange de respect de nos appréhensions et de stimulation à progresser. Enseignants professionnels et haut niveau de sécurité. Une semaine énergisante, dans un milieu respectueux des gens et de la nature!

5 star ratingSunny days on the Madawaska River with the Madawaska Kanu Centre Absolutely fantastic experience!!!! I took my three grandchildren, aged 7 - 15 for the two hour family raft experience. Our guide made the adventure so much fun for all of
us. Our neighbours also joined our raft, so we had a total of 11. We will definitely return for another adventure.

5 star ratingPerfect Family Adventure I cannot say enough good things about MKC - their facilities, their staff, the river, all of it. My family actually joined the five day learn to kayak program (which was not an option in the TripAdvisor drop down). The river has just the right amount of challenge to be PERFECT for learning. There are easy lines for absolute beginners, and enough challenge that a competitive slalom race was being held for top competitors on an adjacent section of the river during our stay. We will be back in the future for the same program.
