Curious about Wooden Canoes
I don't know if I should say anything since this hasn't been mentioned yet, but the SW of Nova Scotia is a back country canoeist's dream. There is Kejimkujik NP and the Tobeatic Wilderness Area. The Tobeatic area is the location of head waters of several rivers interconnected with portages that are as old as the Mi'kmaw. If you want a little taste of what it was like 100 years ago, pick up the book "The Tent Dwellers" , Alfred Bigelow Paine. It's pretty short, and laugh out loud funny.
