Which are your favourite rivers, in North America and Europe, for long
canoe trips? I'm interested in rivers that pass mostly through natural
uncultivated terrain and encounter human civilization as little as
possible.

Thank you,

Jake:
Check out the Churchill River in Labrador - absolutely unspoiled country, no
civilization, trip runs over a week. A friend did it several years ago - his
pix were absolutely spectacular. Run goes from the Wabush Lake/Labrador City
area to Goose Bay. E-mail me if you want contact info.
Regards,
Rick Hayes

There are a lot of such trips in Labrador that you could do. There are
also quite a few trips in Newfoundland, although most are a bit
shorter. The following book might be hard to find, but it has
information about nearly every river paddled in Newfoundland and
Labrador up until the time of its publication. And there are a lot of
rivers in Newfoundland and Labrador...

Canyons, Coves & Coastal Waters: choice canoe and kayak routes of
Newfoundland and Labrador. Dan Murphy, Jim Price and Kevin Redmond.

It was published by Breakwater Press, and is available from the
provincial library -- you may be able to get it on loan.
