A great chain of rivers and portages connects every major city in Canada by canoe. Retrace the Voyageurs' Highway as Lisette and Daniel Harmon paddled it in the 1820s, up the Ottawa from Lachine Rapids in Montreal through the Great Lakes to Fort William. Rendezvous with the Athabasca brigades from across the Rockies, and carry a thousand pounds of trade goods across the infamous nine-mile Grand Portage. Lisette divides her greenhorns into hands-on paddling brigades, with a song or a true story for every stop on the map.
