Watch: NORTH to SOUTH - The French River Documentary

From the description…

In the deep autumn of 2020, we took on the challenge of canoeing the entire length of the beautiful and historic French River in northern Ontario, Canada. 170 kms of water was ahead of us, ever changing from wide, to narrow; from ambient, to violent. The season brought us many challenges with the fluctuating weather and temperatures, but also brought a beautiful display of fall colours for us to absorb as we paddled along. We'll bring you along with us, tell our story, and share highlights of the river's rich history in this documentary, which is the first of its kind.
