TOURING                     

Touring is essentially a rowing trip lasting one or more days along a (more or less) pre-determined route. More adventurous rowers can organize ‘camping-style’ tours by packing tents and sleeping bags. For the culturally-inclined, tours often incorporate visits to local attractions- so it's not just about rowing, but getting to know people, places and events throughout Ontario!

In the past five years, the number and size of tours in Ontario has continued to grow, with the Rideau Canal, Trent-Severn Canal, Algonquin Park, French River (Sudbury) and Lake Couchiching (Orillia) all hosting rowers. In 2002, the Rideau Canal hosted some 80 rowers from all over the world on the International Tour from Ottawa to Kingston.
