Typically landing on the Third Saturday in July each year, Canoe Day has provided so many with the experience of travelling the same paths used by voyageurs, fur traders, and First Nations People from centuries ago.

Most memorable about 2016 was that a week prior to Canoe Day - a long dry spell had left much of the river unnavigable. Then four days of heavy rain in a row just before Canoe Day meant we were able to run everything - another great day for canoeing on La Vase Portages!
Celebrating the 400th Anniversary of Champlain crossing La Vase Portages, 40 paddlers joined us this year to share a "traditional" Voyageur lunch of burgers and fries and Billy Bob's and enjoy a great day of paddling one of Canada's most historic canoe routes.
2016 - Twenty four persons joined in our first La Vase Portages Heritage Canoe Day, crossing under clear blue skies and hot weather.
