PaddlePlanner is the first place I go to when planning a wilderness canoe trip. Throw away your string and rulers, the site's time and distance calculator lets you sketch out an entire trip.

I absolutely love using your site since I have been an interior park ranger in Algonquin Park for the past 4 years.

I was attracted by the Route Finder interactive maps that allow me to quickly map out a route and give me a wealth of basic information about mileage, portages, and time.

To help plan and anticipate for a better trip experience, more information is better in my opinion, and Paddle Planner presents a great source of information.

Paddle Planner has it all...campsite reviews are helpful, the trip planner is awesome, and being able to download .gpx files are the icing on the cake.

I found nothing comparable online and really compliment the creator on his dedication to building a great set of tools. Fantastic product (and I rarely give compliments like this)!

Paddle Planner, had it existed back in the early 90's, would have been a valuable learning resource for us when we started canoeing. And indeed trip reports, photos, and the users forum make Paddle Planner a valuable learning resource. As a more experienced canoeist, I use the interactive maps extensively in planning trips and dreaming about trips.

Easy way to measure trip distances as well as finding campsite and portage data along with it. I spent many years punching holes in maps with dividers. It's much easier this way.

My friend told me about this website. He thought it was better than sliced bread… Better than any other BWCA website.

The Route Finder provides clear detailed information and is reliable information both on the screen and put into action on the trail.

Paddle Planner is a huge asset when planning out your next canoe trip. I suggest it to anyone planning a canoe trip.
Planning your trip to the Boundary Waters and a bunch of other wildernesses will be made much easier if you start with PaddlePlanner.com.
The Route Finder is the best part and sets this site far above other research sites for mapping the BWCA.

It's great for routing your trip and finding camp sites that may fit your needs. The route planner gives you mileage totals making it fun and helpful to calculate how far you'll travel.

The Route Finder is fantastic. I defy anyone to find anything so comprehensive that works this well. It's so quick and easy to modify, I will often use it for various 'what if?' scenarios.
