SMART START: Adventure Agent instruction and tours.
WE'RE NOT NEW TO KAYAKING From our Voyageur roots with Champlain in early 1600, we've got a marine history. We personally started kayaking about 40 years ago; we've got a kayaking history. We've seen a lot, learned a lot. This isn't following a trend. It's more than certifications and papers. This is a life-long passion we want to share. That's why we started this home-based business.
CONSERVE FUEL Give a gift that's active, environmentally friendly, with skills that will last a lifetime of fun. Do you need a better reason to give an Adventure Agent Gift Certificate?
CONSERVE FUNDS Our high quality service for less money. Link here for discount information.
BOUGHT / BUYING? Buying a kayak? No matter what kind of kayak you have, we offer an "Introduction to Kayaking".
SOLO GUESTS Adventure Agent encourages solo guests. Fully Independant Travellers are welcome to take a kayak tour or lesson, or rent a unit for a short jaunt from our base here at Snow Road Station. Make it part of your journey, and consider a local B&B or Campground, to learn more about our region.
SMALL GROUPS With our history of organizing and instructing Provincial Instruction Clinics, trip leading in clubs and solo on Ontario's whitewater and the great Georgian Bay, we understand the dynamic of group travel. Check our discounts for groups under "rates".
SHORT NOTICE Our personal history includes quick departure from the city to wilderness places. We understand that while on a tour, you may just get the urge for something like kayaking. Feel free to act on that impulse to be our guest and paddle a canoe or kayak.
REDUCE THE RISK. Benefit from our experience. There is good cause for taking Adventure Agent paddling instruction by you and your loved ones.
DO MORE: In conjunction with Adventure Agent programming, local bed & breakfasts (B&B) are available. (Not to our profit.) Within 6 miles is camping. Before or after your kayak adventure you can enjoy world-class, 5-star cuisine, just minutes away. Several golf courses are in the area. The rest of the family or friends can kayak while you golf.
LINKS: Our occasional BLOG, Nature information, our historic birch-bark canoe brigade to Ottawa, fishing ideas, fishing licenses. Events, rules about FIRES, Fire bans and fines.

LAND, WATER TRAILS
Water trails: Mississippi River, Clyde River, Tay River, Dalhousie Lake. Choose a bike route or trail on a paved or gravel route, or get off-road. A kayak adventure will fit in perfectly, adding refreshing water recreation to your road or trail bike trip, or an a.t.v. stop. Even find out about our local xc ski trail
NO CAR? Some folks want to kayak, but don't have a car. For a service fee, we could pick you up (Pre-arrangement mandatory.) A bus stopping point is 15 minutes away, and about, an hour bus ride from Ottawa and Kingston. GREYHOUND SCHEDULE RAIL TO KINGSTON
OTTAWA, KINGSTON, BELLEVILLE, BROCKVILLE, GANANOQUE, TORONTO and all points between; it doesn't matter. Adventure Agent is the little home-based business that is accessible by excellent paved roads. Kingston, Belleville and Gananoque kayak or canoe enthusiasts merely drive up Road 38 to Highway 7, at Sharbot Lake, turn left, take the next right onto 509 to Snow Road. Kingston people refer to this area as "God's Country ". Well, God certainly DID bless this Land O' Lakes area, with the Missisisippi, Salmon and Clyde rivers, and some 5000 lakes.
Ottawa canoe and kayak enthusiasts recognize this as the accessible wilderness, because of its proximity, and excellent paved roads. For folks from Gananoque, Belleville, and Brockville, this glorious hub of the Lanark Highlands, Madawaska Highlands and Land O' Lakes is still "God's Country".
Whether it's the buildings and traffic of Ottawa, Brockville, Belleville or Gananoque, a kayak tour in this Land O' Lakes is a refreshing break, and will show you the meaning of "recreation".
Coming from Toronto? Guests from Toronto do make it a day trip, so come on out. You'll definitely enjoy a stay at a B&B or campsite.
Kayak and canoe tripping in the Land O' Lakes is far less crowded than Algonquin, and maybe more beautiful. Take the 401 east to 38 (at Kingston) and north to 7 (at Sharbot Lake), jog west a block, then north on 509. Or take 7 east until you meet 509, then turn north 15 minutes and you're in " God's Country ", Snow Road Station - Adventure Agent country - at the heart of North Frontenac Parklands.
