About

The Delay-Du Gué-Aux Mélèzes system comprises interconnected tributaries in the vast Koksoak watershed, flowing through Nunavik's uninhabited tundra landscape. This multi-river route covers the 232km Du Gué River, which features encaised sections with rapids between rocks and mountainous terrain in its eastern segments. The system drains through areas covered by sparse tundra vegetation, remaining largely unexplored by paddlers due to extreme remoteness and challenging access requiring multiple charter flights. Documentation is extremely limited, making this suitable only for expert expeditioners with extensive northern experience.
