Overview

It just doesn't get better!! The Fond du Lac River is a remote gem, known for its amazing camping, fun rapids, plentiful wildlife, and majestic falls. Discover why this is the expedition our guides dream about.
New for 2025, we have added a short section of the Waterfound River to our Fond Du Lac Expedition. The Waterfound is full of shallow boulder strewn and grayling filled rapids that will get you primed for the bigger whitewater to come. The Fond du Lac River is one of Northeast Saskatchewan’s gems. Many consider it as their favourite Saskatchewan river. It’s a clear, wild river, rushing 270 km northwest from its headwaters on Wollaston Lake to Lake Athabasca. The Fond-Du-Lac is unique in the Shield as it flows through picturesque limestone canyons. The array of looming limestone cliffs, rolling eskers, and sparse Jackpine forest make this terrain some of the best camping country in the world. It has incredible scenery with some very picturesque waterfalls- Manitou Falls is a must see. There's enough whitewater to keep you on your toes and most of it lies in the Class I and II realm. See Bald eagles, black bear, moose and caribou.
