Don Rogert Canoe Base

Don Rogert Canoe Base
Atikokan, Ontario

Crews leaving from this base are shuttled to a wide variety of areas. Explore the pristine, well-preserved wilderness of the Quetico Provincial Parks; lounge on the sandy beaches and swim in the turquoise waters of Canadian Crownlands, an area often referred to as “the Carribean of the North”; and visit the White Otter Castle, a five-story wilderness mansion built by one man in 1914, and stumble across long-abandoned gold mines in the Turtle River – White Otter Provincial Park.

Perfectly situated on Perch Lake, west of Atikokan, Ontario, this base offers modern amenities as well as a classic wood-burning sauna. In addition to the unique kayak and fishing programs, crews can arrange for a float plane fly-in to begin their trip.
