Learn How To Handle A Canoe in Whitewater
The cost for both events is $185 per person per day. You can attend all the days, or just one! Please contact us as soon as possible if you would like to attend either event and we will make sure you have all the details for these exciting clinics.
Every year the staff at Smoking Rivers gets together for a few days of teaching and adventure in our Whitewater and Poling Clinics. These classes are designed to help folks learn the proper techniques to use when guiding a canoe through whitewater, or when using a pole instead of a paddle.
Space is limited, so if you are interested in being part of our Poling & Whitewater Clinic, make sure to drop us a line as soon as possible and we will let you know the dates for this year’s classes and the costs involved.

"Our 6 day canoe trip went by way too fast! We were lucky enough to have some beautiful fall weather and the colors were amazing. The guys from Smoking Rivers completely made the trip. It just wouldn't have been the same without them. They worked hard and took great care of us. The food was delicious and they accommodated my vegan diet! We had so much fun and I've made some lifelong friends. I hope to do this trip again next year! Highly recommended!"

"We decided to have a family canoeing adventure for our girls' 12th birthday. I can now declare that I wish most of the decisions we made in life were as brilliant! It's hard to nominate the star of this trip: The stunning river, the amazing woods and wildlife, the thrill of crossing a patch of whitewater, the blessed distance from the rest of the world- these are all good candidates, but the gold medal has to go to Jason and Dan, our guides. We never canoed before, let alone on a lively river, in what felt like the edge of the world, and we felt completely safe the whole time. These guys 'walk' the river on their canoes like we walk a city sidewalk, with ease and confidence and strength..."

"Just had a great camping & canoeing trip down the St. Croix- Maine at its finest! Beautiful scenes of the river, sky, and the woods with cool wildlife thrown in! Plenty of whitewater excitement too! None of our canoes ever flipped, while many others' did! That speaks loudly of the skills of our two guides, Jason & Dan, who provided us with great training as to any different paddle strokes and lessons on reading the river for the 'V's.' However more importantly they were always near to help when we happened to forget some of that training- they both are the consummate professionals - Our whole group loved the experience and wow can those boys cook !!!"
