My Experience So Far

Rolling, Rolling...Rolling Down the River

Stage 1

Departing from Kozy Hollow Lodge (near Canterbury, NB), the 12th group of CCC participants head out on an expedition along part of an ancient portage trail that links the Chiputneticook Lakes to the Passamaquoddy Bay, canoeing a meandering route through the many small lakes and streams that dot the route. This area is known as a biodiversity hot spot where beaver lodges, moose, black bear and exceptional fishing are found, along with Class 1 and 2 rapids that increase the sense of adventure. Participants will experience pristine wilderness along the entire 130km route, winding up at Oak Bay Provincial Park on the Passamaquoddy Bay. It’s a trip of a lifetime and a great start to their Canadian Conservation Corps adventure.
