The Bay du Nord River is a Canadian Heritage River offering one of Newfoundland's most spectacular and remote wilderness experiences over 100 km of pristine paddling. The route features extensive lake chains through heath barrens with caribou viewing, culminating in challenging white-water 'rattles' and Smokey Falls before emptying into Fortune Bay. This advanced paddle requires 5-7 days with float-plane or helicopter access to upper lakes; paddlers witness glacial landscapes, Mount Sylvester hiking opportunities, and abundant wildlife in one of the province's largest undisturbed wilderness areas.
The difficulty of Bay du Nord River River varies by section.
The best time is June-August.
Bay du Nord River River is located in the Newfoundland and Labrador region of Canada.
