The English River Canoe Route is a moderately challenging 615-kilometer wilderness river linking interior lakes to the Hudson Bay drainage, historically used as a critical fur trade corridor.

Access is from the town of Ignace with local outfitter support available; this remote route demands solid paddling skills and navigation ability. Best paddled in late August-September when water levels are optimal and insects are less problematic; allows 7-10 days for the full journey.
