Escape to Kejimkujik’s real solitude— in the southern lakes! Some of the national park’s finest campsites are tucked away amongst these hinterland lakes, where it’s entirely common to not see another paddler for the entire canoe trip. Sandy beaches and warm summertime swimming will relax you while slow sunsets and June fireflies create the backdrop for lifelong memories.

This fully-guided 3-day backcountry canoe tour is suited for folks who want more adventure in their summer. It involves 6-8 portages, some of which are challenging (you will earn bragging rights). It is more physically demanding than our other tours, but your sweat is not without rewards!

Join your guide at Jake’s Landing where you’ll have a quick lunch, repack your personal items in our waterproof bags and say farewell to running water and flushing toilets for a few days! We’ll pack our canoes and set off towards Minards Bay where we’ll push into solitude and bliss.

On our final day we’ll return to Jake’s Landing where your car or RV will be parked safely in our large car park. This trip is suitable for beginners and intermediate paddlers.

Fret not, we will provide you with clean drinking water (and one of our cool Whynot Adventure 1000ml/32oz water bottles), we won't make you share a tent with a stranger, the bugs are never so bad you won't have fun (July/August and September have little to no bugs!), and there are private outhouses at all the sites. Oh, and we take coffee seriously. It’s french press in the backcountry, with a locally roasted bean. We grind at the campsite for freshness.
