505.0. "Canoe trip in Dalsland" by MUNDIS::KPLUSZYNSKI (Klaus Pluszynski, ACT-Mfg.Ind.) Wed May 06 1992 04:27

    We will come to Sweden in June and spend a week or two in Dalsland,
    discovering the lakes from a canoe. 
    
    Most likely we will start at the city of Bengtfors. Maybe someone 
    would like to share his experience with us and give some hints and 
    tips, e.g. possible routes, weather in June, mosquitos, canoe and 
    equipment rental (ever heared of the 'Silverlake Canoe Center' ?).
    
    Your response is greatly appreciated !

505.1	Advice from an old canoer	STKAI1::SWE070::lronnblad	Lars Ronnblad @SOO	`Tue May 12 1992 04:58`	23
	Hi Klaus! Some ten years ago I made canoe trips in Dalsland, it is a very nice area. The channel of Dalsland is an old transport trail. If I were to canoe in Dalsland I would go a bit futher to the north than Bengtsfors to avoid the water polution from paper mills. I suggest that you start in �rj�ng. There is a canoe center there as well, I'm sure they can give you advice on routes and rental of equipment. Give the Toutistcenter in �rj�ng a call tel: +46(573)14136. The taxi companies were happy to transport us and our canoe when we where doing our trips. This give you more freedom of choice. Make sure that you are well equiped with warm cloths and mosqouito protection. The weather is typically nice before mid-summer, but don't take it for granted. Water temperature is still low in june, by the way the lakes in Dalsland are so deep that they seldom get realy warm. Regards, Lars LRonnblad@am@tomten
