About

The Kapuskasing River offers moderate paddling through Ontario's Great Clay Belt, featuring gentle Class 1-2 rapids and scenic sections mixing boreal forest, gravel bars, and limestone features. The route connects to the Mattagami River system and can be extended toward James Bay, making it accessible from Highway 101 near Foleyet. Best paddled June-September; while less remote than far-northern alternatives, it provides excellent fossil-hunting opportunities and wildlife viewing with fewer logistical demands.
