We love canoeing and think that you should too. There’s nothing like exploring untouched patches of wilderness under your own power and ambition—canoeing is non-evasive, eco-friendly and one of the only ways to travel deep into a peaceful woodland escape. Canoeing allows you to forget your phone and you're worries for a while as you discovery ourself and the planet firsthand.
There is, however, one issue. If you're anything like us, I’m sure you have struggled to find accurate data and advice on canoeing. Where, how, what to bring etc. We’ve all tried making sense of scattered government websites that have been around from what looks like the cretaceous period. It just seems so damn difficult to find relevant information about canoeing out in the wild (Pun intended).

This is precisely why we created Fern and Paddle. We strive to be a comprehensive resource for canoers in central Canada. Here you will find everything you need to be prepared for your next canoeing adventure, whether you’re looking for maps, guides, tutorials or gear reviews. We have it.
We truly believed this is a beautiful sport and hobby. This is the new 21st century home for canoers on the internet. Canoeing just got a new face.
