I decided to create this blog to chronicle my Trans-Canadian canoe trip in May 2012. The hope is to share my experience of preparing and then setting off from Kenora , Ontario on this 4-5 month awe inspiring canoe trip along Canada's historic Voyageur highway.

Winnipeg River - Google Earth Map
First off , is the Winnipeg River. I have tried my hardest to include all relevant information for the backcountry traveler. I have noted all generating stations and dams , portage locations , known camping sites , public picnic areas , Whiteshell PP shelters , rest stops , etc.
Please use this information with care when planning your trip , and use extra care when approaching or re-embarking around the many dams.
The area of the trip covered here is from Kenora , Ontario to Traverse Bay in Manitoba on Lake Winnipeg.

Google Earth Mapping
One of the biggest obstacle's to overcome is the amount of mapping involved. There is no one single map resource for a trip of this magnitude , all the mapping must be pieced together from a multitude of sources. I'm kinda hoping that this site can become that shared resource on the internet , that other trippers can turn to for answers and share their experiences as well , for the grand Trans-Canadian canoe experience.
Over the last 2 months (and still continuing :-\) , I having been compiling the route using the Garmin BaseCamp software and Google Earth to encompass all the information that I am able to obtain , either from the internet , through guide books , city and provincial park maps into a giant database of backcountry information. From remote campsites , upstream and downstream portage landings and suitable food and fuel resupply points in-between , as well as points of cultural interest too .
Please remember that these maps are always meant to be used in conjunction with actual topographic maps and are not a replacement for them ! The goal is supply some detailed information that just isn't on the topos.
Download links are in the Google Earth Route Map section of the right-hand side.
