Planning and Paddling Log: A User
Guide and Trail Journal for Northern
Forest Canoe Trail Adventurers
By Katina Daanen
If after reading Upwards by Laurie Apgar Chandler about
paddling the 740 mile Northern Forest Canoe Trail you feel
over whelmed at the distance you may prefer to consider sec-
tion paddling. Most of us do not have 2 months where we
can leave our busy lives behind to enjoy a big adventure. It is
more likely that we may get a weekend or perhaps a string of
3– 4 days for which to dedicate to an outdoor adventure. The
Planning and Paddling Log is designed to be a tool to assist in
choosing which section to paddle. It is also designed to allow
you to document your journey. It can help you record what
the weather was like, how many miles you traveled, what
kind of wildlife you encountered as well as your personal ob-
ser vations.
We recommend this book as a tool to help you learn about,
plan and record your paddling adventures along all or sec-
tions of the beautiful Northern Forest Canoe Trail.
