Forest The Canoe Guided paddling trips, camping adventures, and nature experiences on Lake Superior. Based in Goulais River, just north of Sault Ste. Why Choose Forest The Canoe?

Marie, we help everyday explorers connect with the wild beauty of Northern Ontario. Forest The Canoe is your gateway to unforgettable outdoor experiences in the rugged beauty of Northern Ontario. Marie, we offer guided nature tours, backcountry camping trips, and seasonal adventures that make it easy for everyday outdoor enthusiasts to connect with the land, the water, and each other. We embrace all the “True North” has to offer—windswept shorelines, towering pines, foggy mornings on the lake, and the joy of sitting around a campfire after a day well spent. At the heart of it all is our belief in creating meaningful connections between people, place, and the natural world through interpretation, education, and shared experience. Whether you're a curious first-timer or a seasoned camper looking to unplug and go deeper, we’ll meet you where you’re at—with approachable guides, thoughtfully designed trips, and a big welcome into our community. We’re not here to summit mountains or chase records (unless the record is who can pack the best camp snacks). We’re here to make the outdoors feel accessible, authentic, and deeply rewarding. Our trips are thoughtfully guided, our experiences are rooted in respect for the land and local history, and our vibe is always welcoming. We work closely with organizations like Algoma Highlands Conservancy, and Lake Superior Watershed Conservancy, and we’re proud to be part of a growing community of guides, educators, and nature lovers who care deeply about this place. Whether you're booking a half-day kayak tour on Lake Superior, joining a multi-day camping trip under the northern lights, or just looking for the best route to paddle with your dog, we’re here to help you feel at home outside.

One very creepy trail.
And absolutely no guarantee that you'll sleep well afterwards.

October 30

Countdown to Fall!

We're bringing back an old favourite...

Ghosts of the Greatest Lake.

And before anyone gets too excited - this one isn't Haunted Hikes. There are no actors hiding in the woods and no one jumping out at you.

Instead, this is a guided hike through the forest at dusk, where we'll share stories of ghost towns, shipwrecks and the people and places that have shaped the shores of Lake Superior giving it its name the graveyard of the great lakes.

A little history. A little mystery. And a landscape that has plenty of stories of its own.

Ghosts of the Greatest Lake is back this fall.

And tomorrow?

Well... tomorrow things get a little scarier. 👀

Countdown to Fall!

Fall at Norm’s Cabin hits a little different.

Getting there is part of the adventure — hiking through a forest dressed in fall colour, leaves crunching under your feet, following the trail through the trees until you reach Bone Lake.

The leaves are only just starting to turn now, but we’re already looking forward to those days when the forest is putting on its full show.

Slow mornings. Cozy nights. Quiet days on the lake.

If a little fall getaway sounds like your kind of thing, Norm’s Cabin still has a few dates available this season.
