Overview

Hosting the headwaters of Nova Scotia’s two finest rivers, the Medway Lakes Wilderness Area boasts small ancient lakes, sandy summertime beaches tucked in quiet coves and pine and hemlock sheltered campsites.

I don't want to shower you with superlatives and risk this sounding exaggerated and/or cheesy (maybe I already transgressed above) but there really is something special about this paddling region. The lakes are generally small and studded with scruggy (yep, I made that word up) little islands and there just seems to be more beaches than any other place we offer tours. I try not to make much fuss about the wildlife because it’s just not something we can guarantee on a trip, but every night we listened to coyotes singing or owls hooting or beavers splashing about.

This trip strikes a fine balance between rugged adventure and relaxing bliss.

Once parked you'll start to unload the canoes and equipment and then proceed with the 'duffle shuffle' where you'll be given a waterproof pack to put your personal items into. Our guide will provide lunch before you pack the canoes and paddle off into the wilderness!
