Adam, We need a bit more information.

Have you canoed much before this? What I actually want to know
here
is: to what extent do you know what you are doing? Many of us
will be
reluctant to give advice if we are thinking we are sending
newbies off to
get hurt in the woods.

How much wilderness do yo want?

How far are you willing to drive and from where?

Do yo have your own gear? If so, what is it?

There are lots of trips that fit your bill; ie, a week long canoe
trip in the east. If you tell us more about your party and your
desires we can help more. Chris Kelly
