I'm going to be in the Thousand Islands area of the St Lawrence River in June. Has anyone paddled this area? Can you recommend a good rental outfit. I'd like to get out for at least a day, maybe two. If there's a must paddle area let me know? Lot's of current would be fun? I'll be on the Canucklestan side of the border so renting around Gan would be easy.

Hi Gordin, A few years ago I paddled from Kingston to Ivy Lea (+/- 50km), a little summary of which you can read here: http://jpivovar.net/Gallery/STL05main.htm There is a 1000 Islands water trail with good on-line documentation, including links to local outfitters in Gan, here: http://www.paddle1000.com/index.htm The route descriptions of "hazards" might clue you in on where you want to head. There's not lots of current around Gan, just barely noticeable. If you go east of Ivy Lea the current picks up a bit in the narrows and there is at least one low-head dam that provides a few challenges. Stay away from the US side around Gan as that is the main shipping channel along there and it is only annoying. Have fun!

Thanks to everyone who helped out with my St. Lawrence request. Looks like I'll do a day paddle out of Gan. gordin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jennifer Pivovar" <jpivovar_at_headwinds.org> > Hi Gordin, > > A few years ago I paddled from Kingston to Ivy Lea (+/- 50km), a little > summary of which you can read here: > http://jpivovar.net/Gallery/STL05main.htm > > There is a 1000 Islands water trail with good on-line documentation, > including links to local outfitters in Gan, here: > http://www.paddle1000.com/index.htm The route descriptions of "hazards" > might clue you in on where you want to head. > > There's not lots of current around Gan, just barely noticeable.
