My Canadian Canoe Routes (User submitted routes, recipes and gear tips)
Google Earth- A pretty incredible bit of software that lets you soar over the earth and zoom in on your favorite paddling route using satellite imagery. Some areas are lacking in detail but some areas are incredible. Use it to scout your route or create an overview of the trip. Be forewarned though, it's addictive.
Maps
