Whether a person is a canoeist or kayaker, someone who once paddled or has never paddled, someone who might like to paddle, or someone who just loves to read true stories that celebrate wild nature, End of the Portage will bring them along on a wonderful canoe journey.
In the heart of Algonquin Park, on the beautiful Petawawa River, in Ontario Canada, a lone paddler gets into difficulty.
End of the Portage is a true story, the kind that might be told around a campfire - and a celebration of the natural world, canoeing and camping.
The trail's been up and down,
With its slips and its falls
Splendour and drudgery,
Wind and birds' calls
And that last look upstream
To the places gone by
And the river, the river,
Always running by and nigh...
