The Kazan River is one of Canada's premier Heritage Rivers and a quintessential barrenlands expedition spanning 615 kilometres with dramatic red sandstone formations, white-water narrows, and powerful waterfalls including the famous Kazan Falls.

The route offers authentic Caribou Inuit archaeological sites throughout. Best paddled late June through mid-August following spring ice-out. Access via floatplane from Points North Landing in northern Saskatchewan to Kasba Lake.
The difficulty of Kazan River River varies by section.
The best time is Late June-Mid-August.
Kazan River River is located in the Nunavut region of Canada.
