Five Easy Steps to Get Started
1. ESTIMATE YOUR GROUP SIZE
Get a "best guess" estimate of group size. This can be adjusted during the planning process but it's critical to secure the proper number of permits early (one permit for each 9 people). We also need
a list of most-likely "party leaders" to be named on the permit(s).
2. CHOOSE YOUR ENTRY DATES
Set a preferred entry date (the day you go "on the water") and any alternate dates in case the first choice isn't available. Once the permit is issued, the entry date is set in concrete. Any change
would require a brand new permit (if available).
3. DETERMINE THE LENGTH OF YOUR TRIP
Figure the number of days you'll be spending on the water. This is flexible; your permit does not
require a specified exit date.
4. CHOOSE YOUR DESTINATION
Decide on a US or Canadian trip. Also pick a preferred entry point - the starting place for your
canoe trip. Here's where we can really help. We'll explain the various options and best routes to
meet your needs, interests, and abilities. Large groups must separate into subgroups of no more
than 9 people. Since each subgroup travels and camps separately in the wilderness, each subgroup
may choose its own entry point and park preference.
5. SELECT YOUR PACKAGE
Determine which package (and any optional services such as transportation and lodging) best fits your group. If you have any special
requests, we'll be happy to work up a special package and give you a price quote.
