Canot-Camping - The Best Experience

Paddle in a bewitching setting, feel the entertainment of a crinkle caravansary and sleep luxuriously in your tent. Combining the pleasures of camping and boating offers moments of peace and solitude, but also of pushing your limits and discovery!

Canot-camping is an amicable yet exciting way to enjoy the outdoors. To experience that you’re truly getting away from it all, this is the way to go! The aloneness of the lagoon, a secluded campsite, and complete independence… is there anything better?

With this freedom and isolation comes the desire to arrive arranged. Canoe campers many times trip into territories where it just isn’t possible to run out to the store if something is forgotten at home. With research and good arrangement, this could be the trip of a lifetime!

The first major attention is the canoe. Whether you determine to rent or buy, discuss to an expert at the store you are dealing with. Tell them where you are going and have them display you several different suitable canoes. Ask how each one differs from the others. Appreciate how much weight you can securely take in the canoe.

The size of the boat is an important aspect to consider. While a 15-foot paddled boat is appropriate for river paddling, longer boats are faster and accessible to movement over lakes and open water. Renting for your first few trips allows you to get a feel for different canoes and how they will manage in the water. Don’t forget to take one additional paddle per canoe in case one is lost.

Nuitée en Yourte - An Amazing Experience

Yurt holidays are a great opportunity for people who want a little additional luxury in their camping experience during nuitée en yourte. Dream up waking up refreshed: no sore back from constant stooping or sleeping on a cold, hard ground. Yurts are especially attractive if you are travelling with young children, camping in winter - or otherwise poor weather - or you’re just a “high-maintenance” camper that prefers not to rough it too much. 

The yurt is the classic habitat of Canada. Made to withstand uttermost weather, this circular shape dwelling has five basic elements: 

  • Lattice walls
  • Roof beams
  • A roof ring
  • A door and
  •  A felt and hide covering
Since the 13th century, yurts have been used by nomadic horse herders as handy or easily transported homes. You will enjoy a tremendous view of the night sky from the yurts! 

Fundy's yurts are a rejuvenated form of the classic yurt. They are comfortable and mild with protected and isolated walls and roof, and a propane stove. In the summer, the yurts are kept cool with windows, dome and door openings providing cross airing.

Two yurts are wheelchair-available.

Your agenda
  • Sleeping bags, blankets and cushion
  • Food, drinks and a water container (Campground water is drinkable)
  • Cooking accessories, dishes and a cooler
  • Slippers or indoor shoes - the first rule of keeping a clean yurt is to remove outdoor footwear
  • Match box or lighter to ignite fire in the cook shelter
What they provide

The campsite consists
  • Yurt (6 meters/ 20 feet in diameter) with a locking door
  • Deck
  • Picnic table
  • Deck armchair
  • Parking for one vehicle
An isolated and frenzied service building includes showers, bathrooms, clothes washer and dryer, sinks for dish washing.

A cook dwelling with wood stove and split firewood are located nearby. There are lockable cupboards in the shelter. Each cupboard is color collected to a certain yurt (example: green yurt = green locker).

Technique of Snow Shoeing

A journey on snowshoes can be as effortless as an occasional walk about the garden or as tough as a winter mountain hike. No appropriate experiences and only mild winter apparel is needed. One of the finest aspects of snowshoeing is its simplicity. The major thing about snowshoeing is you may snowshoe the same trails you journey by foot in the summer. The brink of streams and rivers are always entertaining with their open views and potential for watching wildlife. Start with curtailed journey and work your way up to longer journeys to the peaks. Be sure to check the snow record for trails especially matched to snowshoeing.

Snowshoe Style

Snowshoeing is mostly walking with large feet; you just tape on the snowshoes and walk away. When beginning out for the first time on snowshoes try a simple trail till you are friendly with controlling high landscape. Depending on the snow, dry or crumbly, wet, rough or slippery, the snow will move. The footing will experience irregular. Walk with care, take shorter stomps, don't ump, or leap from step to step. 

Snowshoe Don'ts

You don't all have to learn the difficult way! You'll benefit by the experiences if you follow these rudiments.

Never walk on a movable snowshoe: If you walk on the back of your forward snowshoe with your forward-moving snowshoe, you will almost always put your face in a nose dive.



Never back up:Snowshoes do not back-up well. Repeatedly, if you move back, your snowshoe back end will drive down into the snow normally creating a drop. Instead of backing up use small U-turns or walk turns to shift directions. 

Advert bisecting slopes: These adventures are not well framed to grip with the edges. Bisect at an angle up or down but not straight across in case possible.
