Matt Magolan has been paddling canoes and kayaks in earnest for over 30 years. He currently owns Umingmaq Paddle Touring Center, which has a booth at Canoecopia 2026 offering guided trips and Gram Kajak Greenland paddles. Matt has worked as a professional guide and paddler over many years. He guided canoe trips in Quetico Provincial Wilderness Park when he was in college. Matt has guided sea kayak trips in The Apostle Islands National Seashore, Lake Superior Provincial Park in Ontario, Pukaskwa National Park in Ontario and The Lofoten Islands in Arctic Norway & he has completed sea kayak expeditions in Arctic Canada and Alaska. Matt has also written articles for Canoe & Kayak and Adventure Kayak Magazines. He has presented multimedia talks at Canoecopia and other paddling symposia around North America. Since the birth of his twin daughters in 2014, he has focused on raising his girls in the paddling lifestyle. Over the last six years, Matt has spent an overwhelming amount of energy convincing his wife to allow him to plan and execute a series of ever more ambitious paddle touring trips with his family. Re-discovering the backyard Wisconsin paddle camping gems with his family has rekindled his passion for paddle touring; using the canoe or kayak as a means to get out into the wilderness where water, earth and sky meet. The family expeditions culminated with a trip to the Mackenzie River in the summer of 2023. |

Kayaking the Fjords of Iceland
Caribou - upstairs Sat 4:30pm-5:15pm
Bear - upstairs Sun 10:30am-11:15am
In the summer of 2025, Umingmaq Paddle Touring Center led a trip with 4 intrepid paddlers to the Fjords of Iceland. The 11 day trip included paddling excursions to three distinct regions of the volcanic island and amazing cultural experiences.
Join Head Guide Matt Magolan as he recounts the experiences of 11 days in the WestFjords, Northwest Fjords and Northern Fjords of Iceland. Mountains, sky & crystal clear Arctic Ocean waters were the constant backdrop of this amazing adventure. Life perched at the edge of fire and ice surrounded the paddlers at every stroke.
Designed as a trip for the average paddler, the only prerequisite was an advanced sense of curiosity and wonder. Stunning imagery and storytelling will take attendees there and back again.
