I've canoed the Saugeen for years, I helped organize Kids runs for about 15 years, usually one on May 24, July, August, September long weekends, even the odd Thanksgiving Weekend Trip, l always took my fishing rods & usually caught some nice fish, had a few runs with 25 to 35 people & camped at McBeath, the Bluffs & some fields had a few runs with Scout trips from Walkerton to Southampton, but there was the odd trip if you couldn't read the water some of the people walked quite a ways, I was usually the last canoe so I could help anybody that needed it, if you have any questions I'll try to help
