Overview

Experience the most dynamic environment on the Great Lakes. Our paddling centre at the junction of the Michipicoten River and Lake Superior, near Wawa, Ontario, offers a diverse array of paddling conditions, ranging from flatwater to strong currents and eddy lines, surf beaches and standing waves, rock hopping and access to hundreds of kilometres of exposed wilderness coast—along with indoor learning spaces.
We offer beginner-expert skills plus instructor training in sea kayak, SUP and canoe, with certifications available through Paddle Canada, the American Canoe Association and British Canoe. Regardless of your skill level, it’s the perfect place to achieve your paddling goals. For novice-level sea kayak training, the calm, sheltered waters of the Michipicoten River offer an ideal training ground. Intermediate-advanced-level participants will find the dynamic waters of the river flowing into Lake Superior challenging and rewarding as you paddle in moving water, with eddies and standing waves. Our 7-acre property includes a beach shelter and indoor learning spaces with a WiFi connection for theory lessons. We also offer waterfront campsites for course participants. If you prefer, our Rock Island Lodge provides B&B-style accommodations.
