Whitewater Canoe Clinic

Since 1972, Black Feather has introduced thousands of paddlers to the fun and excitement of whitewater canoeing. We primarily teach a style of paddling designed to let you safely descend rapids in a loaded, tandem, tripping canoe. We’ll also try out a few more adventurous moves, just for fun. With whitewater skills, a whole new world of wilderness travel is open to you.

Black Feather’s “Whitewater Canoeing” weekend is the perfect opportunity for you to learn the paddling skills and safety techniques you will need to enjoy our wilderness rivers. This year we are also offering some of our clinics in a 3-day format, to allow for additional time on the water. Both formats are designed to provide excellent instruction in a relaxed and enjoyable setting at Palmer Rapids on the Madawaska River. Beginners, novices as well as those with more experience will all get the chance to develop their skills on this action-packed weekend.
