Imagine..running 40 sets of rapids, portaging fewer than 10 times, and camping every night beside the roar of cascading falls and rapids. Few rivers can match the power, beauty and history of the Upper Missinaibi. Recenly featured in a CBC television documentary and an Outpost Magazine article, on the fur trader era, the Missinaibi River rushes 350 miles North from it's source at Missinaibi Lake to James Bay, over Precambrian granite, through string bogs and marshes, and all within a Provincial Park. Our guided trip catches the river near the headwaters, and for 100 miles of river, we drop 300'. Although the pace is relaxed enough to allow a full day of whitewater instruction, the trip is still demanding. At the end of a day of running rapids, nothing is more welcome than a hearty Missinaibi Headwaters feast prepared for you by your guide. Truly, the best way to experience one of the world's great rivers. |
