Clyde River Canoe Route River

★★★☆☆ 3.0

About

The Clyde River is the largest tributary of the Mississippi River, offering 40 km of scenic paddling from Clyde Lake to Lanark. Water conditions determine the character dramatically: high spring flows create exciting Class 2 whitewater and rapids, while low summer/fall water exposes rocky shoals that require wading. The river meanders through beautiful countryside with diverse wildlife including beavers, otters, deer, and herons. It is not maintained as a canoe route with minimal formal campsites; paddlers should be experienced with whitewater or lining techniques.
