Erhard's Canoeing Pages. There is also a set of pages in German.

 Some of the best canoeing is found in the Canadian Shield. Names such as Spanish River, Temagami and Biscotasing evoke the image of Grey Owl, the conservationist that gave us such wonderful descriptions of this country. SpSide1.jpg (49607 bytes)

Ever thought of following his trails? Interested in joining on a trip?  I lead canoe trips for the Federation of Ontario Naturalists, an organization of people who care about the northern wilderness and work to keep nature intact. I also organize my own trips and would like to see folks who do not speak Englishspan_poling.jpg (125599 bytes)  experience the beauty of the North as well. That's why I established the pages for German-speaking readers.
