ORCA certification is also a common requirement for employment with camps and outdoor recreation facilities. These courses involve rigorous, rewarding instruction at Smoothwater plus canoe trips of varying duration. Contact us for our next course or bring us a group of 10 or more. We service all the major and lesser known access roads in the Temagami region, many of which are rough and difficult to navigate. Our shuttle service saves you time, hassle and potential damage to your vehicle.
Secure parking is available free of charge at Smoothwater.
The Smoothwater Backcountry Store is our in-town depot for canoe, kayak and mountain bike rentals and sales. We carry excellent tripping canoes and kayaks by a variety of manufacturers, including Scott, Langford, Arrow and Walden. If you are in the market to purchase a new canoe, please consult us. We can advise you on t he designs and makes that best suit your needs and can often provide a better price than you'll find elsewhere. We also stock maps for the entire Temagami region and have a nice selection of cotton t-shirts, hats, bug shirts and hand knit sweaters.
