Want to do your canoe trip to Saskatchewan, Canada, and save about half of what you would pay at Northern Tier High Adventure Base in northern Minnesota and Canada? If you like to fish this is the place to go. Arrangements can be made with Horizons Unlimited Outfitter at Missinipe Lakes, Saskatchewan, Canada. Where is Missinipe Lakes you ask? Well, it is 559 miles north of the US Border in Saskatchewan Lake country. The total drive distance one-way is 1,488 miles from Denver to Missinipe Lakes. Canoe trips of 50 miles in five days qualify you for the 50 Miler Award. The trip consisted of eleven days. Five days on the lakes, three days driving up, and three days driving back. There were 17 scouts and 9 dads to share expenses. It is recommended that planning and reservations take place early in the fall of the year before the trip. A $100.00 deposit will be required for the Outfitter. The Outfitter has about 40 canoes and can be contacted at the following address and phone number: Horizons Unlimited Churchill River Canoe Outfitter P.O. Box 1110 La Ronge, Saskatchewan Canada S0J 1L0 1 (306) 638-4420 Manager: Ric Driediger The Outfitter can provide multiple canoe trip variations both in route and duration of stay. Be sure to obtain this information early and share it with your group in planning this wilderness canoe trip. Your group will need to provide cooking utensils, personal gear and shelter. Personal equipment and clothing should be taken in an army duffel bag. The carrying straps can be looped through the “Thwarts” support of the Canoe, so the duffel bag will remain with the canoe if it turns over. Provincial highway maps and canoe trip booklets are available as well as camping locations and motel information. The canoe trip booklets are published by the Saskatchewan Parks, Recreation and Culture Department. How to get there: The suggested route is Denver to Custer State Park, in South Dakota, 477 miles, camp at a group campsite, (named Camp Mt. Rushmore). Group campgrounds should be arranged for ahead of time, fee. Mt. Rushmore, South Dakota to Regina, Saskatchewan, stay in the Imperial 400 Motel, 4255 Albert Street South, 1 (306) 584-8800. Regina, Saskatchewan to Melfort, Saskatchewan, then Missinipe Lakes, 441 miles, camp at the lake.
