Path of the Paddle is the ultimate book for the expert, the novice, the individual or the family canoeist. Written with simplicity and enthusiasm, it captures both the excitement and quiet joy that are offered by the wilderness canoe trip. It is the kind of book that dedicated and would be canoeists alike will find indispensable and enjoyable for years to come.

Bill Mason was a Canadian naturalist, author, artist, filmmaker, and conservationist, noted primarily for his popular canoeing books, films, and art as well as his documentaries on wolves. Mason was also known for including passages from Christian sermons in his films.[1] He was born in 1929 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and graduated from the University of Manitoba School of Art in 1951. He developed and refined canoeing strokes and river-running techniques, especially for complex white water situations. Mason canoed all of his adult life, ranging widely over the wilderness areas of Canada and the United States. Termed a "wilderness artist," Mason left a legacy that includes books, films, and artwork on canoeing and nature. His daughter Becky [2] and son Paul are also both canoeists and artists. Mason died of cancer in 1988.
