Alouette Lake, BC. Fringed by the towering peaks of the Coast Range, 20-kilometre-long Alouette Lake has a distinctly alpine feel. Golden Ears Provincial Park features three lakeside backcountry campsites for overnight trips. env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/ golden_ears/

Gulf Islands, BC. Every day feels like a weekend in British Columbia’s Gulf Islands National Park. Route options are endless depending on your skill and objectives, with Parks Canada boat-only campsites located on Cabbage, D’Arcy, Portland, Prevost and Rum islands. pc.gc. ca/pn-np/bc/gulf/index_e.asp


Door County, WI. The chain of islands that shelters Green Bay on Lake Michigan’s western shore offers a number of options for sea kayaking. Newport and Rock Island state parks are solid choices for weekend trips. Guide to Sea Kayaking on Lakes Superior and Michigan (Globe Pequot, 1999) is your best bet for route descriptions.
