firequenchers Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 We are wanting to do the 50 miler in a canoe next year. We will travel, since there is not 50 miles of river in New Mexico to really canoe or float. Anyone had any good trips with outfitters that understand that we have to have atleast 5 days? Anyone had an exceptional river trip that we should look at? Any ideas would be great. YiS, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagledad Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Sounds like a great trip. The Brazos river in central Texas is the closest river I can think of that will fit your needs. I can't help you with an outfitter, but I know there are several on the river. Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eisely Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I don't have a good link to this, but try Googling "Canoe Camping USA". There is a website with tons of information on rivers, outfitters, proposed trips, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baden Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I can heartily recommend Cliff Wold of Ely, Mn. Former Scoutmaster. Longtime outfitter. Good price breaks for Scout groups. Good food and first class equipment. You can get all the canoeing you would ever want in the BWCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firequenchers Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Ok see it went into the training section and not the camping one... I am sorry to the site police it was a miss click. Thanks for the info. YiS, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firequenchers Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 We think we are going to look at the winter snows then make a desision... We can do a 100 miles on the Rio Grande if we have the run off...That is close to home and we do not know if anyone has tried it before. So it should be fun.
