All Inclusive Backcountry Canoe Trips & Wilderness Guide Training
Overview
Few rivers can match the power, beauty, and history of the Missinaibi River, one of Canada’s great waterways. From its source at Missinaibi Lake, the river rushes 520km North to James Bay over Precambrian granite, through bogs and marshes, and around spectacular waterfalls, all within a Provincial Park. Starting at Missinaibi Lake we will spend the next 17 days paddling over 280km, drop 300 feet of elevation, and run over 30 sets of rapids.
We begin our Journey on Missinaibi Lake and quickly move downstream, progressing from easy Class 1 to more challenging Class 2 and 3 rapids. Each day brings us closer to Thunderhouse Falls—a breathtaking waterfall that carves through a rocky, 150-foot-high canyon. Below the falls, the river drops 300 feet in one day as it cascades off the Canadian Shield into the Hudson’s Bay Lowlands. Our final night is spent at Bull Moose Bay, camped beneath towering clay banks.
