Tinnerman Canoe Base
The ultimate experience in canoeing. Located on the waters of the French River in Ontario, Canada,
 Scouts enjoy the high adventure by paddling more than fifty miles on the various channels of the river all in one week. A rewarding and challenging experience. The landscape is pristine and the sights are wondrous. This is one of the most memorable experiences a Scout can have and this trip is a wonderful adventure in outdoorsmanship. The Greater Cleveland Council of the Boy Scouts of Americ a started operating Tinnerman as a canoe base in July of 1963. Scouts from all over the United States are water-taxied from Hartley Bay Marina to the camp and outfitted for a week of canoeing.The scouts canoe the French River area from Nipissing to Georgian Bay and the Killarney area. Over 16,000 scouts and leaders have enjoyed the "Land of the Joli Voyageur." Since each scout is required to do 10 hours of conservation and clean-up work, almost 200,000 hours of work over the past 43 years, have helped preserve the beauty of the French River.
