Arguably the greatest camping in Ontario. Those who have been to the vast wilderness of Temagami know just how special it is. It's hard to do justice to this area that will redefine your sense of the word wild. Seemingly unending forest, an incomprehensible number of lakes and incredible sights around every corner... you'll feel like you had never really been camping before you visit Temagami.
Space for this trip will be limited (18 spots in total and 10 in the van), you're advised to register soon if you're interested. We will not be running this adventure again this year!

This 5 day, 60km route will take you through some of the area's greatest landmarks. You'll visit the endangered old-growth forests of Wolf Lake, swim in the waters of a secret lagoon, climb a mountain with an unbelievable lookout and even discover some ancient indigenous pictographs.
We'll be covering between 7-16 km a day with 13 portages over the 5 days on a mixture of large lakes and smaller waterways. As with many of our trips, this is an opportunity to learn paddling and wilderness skills with the help of our incredible guides, and we'll all be contributing to make the trip a success.
There are very few trips organized to this special place and where they are offered, they typically cost well over a thousand dollars. We're pleased to be able to offer Wilderness Union members another unique trip at an unheard of price - another benefit of your membership!
It's not an easy trip with over 4 km of total portaging and about 15km of paddling a day but with the help of our incredible guides, it's a trip that any enthusiastic and fit amateur can manage and prove what they're capable of. Many of the portages are relatively short and under 500m. The longest is just under 1km long but with our lightweight canoes, even that will be manageable. You can expect to be paddling for about 6 hours a day with a very conservative average pace of 2.5km/hour.
Each night, we'll set up camp on crown land, sleeping under incredible night skies. It should go without saying that we'll be completely off grid so no toilets, no running water and no cell-phone reception. Rest assured that we'll teach you how to remain comfortable and healthy throughout your trip.
