[Glenn MacGrady]

A recent and very thorough article from Paddling Magazine that details the rivers, outfitters, water flow information, and campgrounds:

Bucket list kayaking, canoe camping, rafting and paddleboarding rivers are closer than you think.

I've paddled none of the 10. Any comments, additions, subtractions?

The Bonaventure is on my list for sure!

The article says that the St. Lawrence is Canada’s largest river. Most authorities, however, state that the Mackenzie is Canada’s longest river. Perhaps ther’s a difference between largest and longest.

It’s always good to learn something new, even when you’re as old as I am: 74 years and counting. Largest vs longest rivers. The Mackenzie is the longest river in Canada, while the St. Lawrence is the largest river in Canada. The latter, though is a very close contest. The St. Lawrence volume is 9,850 cubic metres per second, while the Mackenzie is 9,700 cubic metres per second. No other Canadian river is even close. The Mackenzie, however, is entirely within Canada, which should, at least, give it honourable mention. Note the following link.
