IT'S PADDLE-TO-THE-SEA!!!!!!!!!!
Last week I visited the town of Nipigon, Ontario, home of a nice little exhibit in honor of the story by Holling Clancy Holling. In the story, Paddle's journey begins on a snowy hillside above Lake Nipigon, which you might call the headwaters of the Great Lakes system. The Nipigon River drains Lake Nipigon into Lake Superior, and the town of Nipigon sits on the bank of this river.
Though it was written for children, I recommend Paddle-to-the-Sea to everybody. There's also a short film adaptation, shot and edited by Bill Mason back in 1966 for the National Film Board of Canada, and you can watch it here.
