The Canol Heritage Trail/Tsichu River is an ultra-remote 360 km backcountry expedition tracing an abandoned WWII pipeline route through the dramatic Mackenzie Mountains. Rather than pure paddling, it combines hiking, packrafting, and occasional river navigation through challenging mountain terrain with complex river crossings that range from waist-deep fords to dangerous Class 3-4 sections on the Tsichu. Access is primarily overland via the rough North Canol Road or by float plane, making this a true expedition for only the most experienced wilderness adventurers seeking complete solitude and pristine alpine/tundra landscapes.
The difficulty of Canol Heritage Trail / Tsichu River River varies by section.
The best time is May-September.
Canol Heritage Trail / Tsichu River River is located in the Northwest Territories region of Canada.
