  • 2021 Atikokan Crown Land Route Book
    2021 Atikokan Crown Land Route Book You are receiving this document because your crew has chosen to paddle in the Crown Lands or you are a crew of 9 to 11 people which can only travel in the Crown Lands. The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources requires a route selection well in advance of your trip. You must select your preferred route by the day your final payment is due so that we may submit it to the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) with enough notice for your trip. Canada is comprised of 89% Crown Land. It is all un-owned land, coast to coast in Canada. Locals refer to the area we paddle simply as “the Bush.” The routes in this document allow us to better accommodate your crew and give our Interpreters a general idea of where you want to travel so they may plan accordingly. Please review this document with your crew and make your route selection. When you arrive at the Atikokan base, your crew and Interpreter will have time to decide the specifics of your trip ranging from daily distances, where you’ll camp each night, and options to extend or shorten certain sections of your route. While the exact route may have some flexibility, assigned entry points and exit points will not change and major route edits must be pre-approved. The day length in each section is to be used as a guideline. They do not need to be strictly adhered to. For example, if your crew wants to paddle more distance, they can select a route that suggests more days.
