Moisie (via Lac Ashuanipi) River

About

This remote wilderness route accesses the legendary Moisie River system via Lake Ashuanipi in southern Labrador, offering paddlers an extended expedition experience through pristine boreal wilderness with challenging Class III-V whitewater. The route requires accessing Lake Ashuanipi via the Quebec North Shore & Labrador Railway, followed by paddling through the traditional Innu crossing place before joining the main Moisie system. This approach adds significant distance and remoteness, flowing through spectacular granite canyons with thundering waterfalls and offering world-class Atlantic salmon fishing. The route demands advanced expedition skills and extensive wilderness experience due to its extreme remoteness and limited rescue access.
