Canoeing through pristine landscape: planning your family adventure trip to Canada

A family adventure trip can be the vacation of a lifetime, and if you want unspoiled wilderness and beautiful landscapes, then a canoeing trip to Canada is an ideal choice. If you are introducing your children to nature or helping them to appreciate it better, a canoeing holiday is great for doing so. Canoeing makes for a relaxed, leisurely experience that can be enjoyed by the entire family, taking in all that the great Canadian outdoors has to offer.

Traveling by canoe is a great way to see the landscape at a slow and serene pace. Out on the water, you begin to feel immersed in your surroundings, almost like you have become part of the landscape. A canoeing vacation brings you back in time as you share in an activity that was begun by native tribes hundreds of years ago.

Canada offers so many great destinations for a canoeing vacation with the family. Three of the best locations are:

• Muskoka, Ontario: Muskoka is a region with more than 1,600 freshwater lakes to explore. Add in stunning granite cliffs and beautiful pine and maple forests and you have a pristine environment to explore by canoe.

• Lake Louise, Alberta: This Lake is noted, in particular, for its emerald color, the result of rock flour being carried by melt water from nearby glaciers into the lake itself. A tranquil setting, Lake Louise is a great destination for a family canoe getaway.

• Liscombe River, Nova Scotia: The Liscombe River offers the opportunity to immerse you and your family fully in nature while enjoying a canoeing vacation at the same time. The river is noted, in particular, for its seasonal salmon runs, beginning in June and lasting until late October.
