Review Quotes

Temagami, A Wilderness Paradise has always been a leading resource for the countless routes spread out amongst the clear blue lakes, tumbling rivers and massive old growth pine of northeastern Ontario, labelled as "Deep Water Country" and considered by many as the Holy Grail of Ontario wilderness. Hap's guidebook is the bible for it... This is not just a guidebook that has pointed thousands of paddlers where to explore the true wilderness. Hap's book... also emphasizes us to protect this unique and precious wild area. This is truly a collector's item for all paddlers.--Kevin Callan "Explore Magazine" (4/3/2023 12:00:00 AM)
