About Wanapitei Canoe ...

Wanapitei CANOE has a history dating back to the 1920's with our origins on Lake Wanapitei. The summer base moved to Temagami in 1931 and was bought by the Hodgins family in 1956. In 1970 the business was expanded and reorganize. Today Wanapitei Canoe is still in the family, owned by Shawn Hodgins and Liz McCarney.

Shawn, also head guide, has worked in the canoeing/adventure field for the past 20 years. A graduate of Trent University, he managed Camp Wanapitei for 10 years before taking on ownership of Wanapitei CANOE. He has 25 years experience guiding extended deep wilderness expeditions in the Canadian North with over 25,000km under his belt. Shawn is an accomplished canoeist and a certified canoe instructor in whitewater, canoe tripping and lakewater. In addition Shawn has many years experience in whitewater and flatwater kayaking including a number of extended expeditions. In addition we have many talented and dedicated canoeists on out staff, a large number have been with us for 10 and 20 years. We are extremely proud of our dedicated and talented staff.
