The 'Nastapoka - Canoe Access' refers to the alternative access routes to reach the Nastapoka River system through Tursujuq National Park. These routes involve complex logistics starting from Radisson via the Trans-Taiga Highway to Lacs des Oeufs, or floatplane access from Kuujjuarapik on Hudson Bay. The access routes navigate through the confusing mosaics of lakes Bienville and d'Iberville before reaching the main Nastapoka drainage. These preliminary routes require expert route-finding skills through unmarked terrain and serve as gateways to the main river system. Planning and execution of access routes are as challenging as the main river itself.
Nastapoka - Canoe access River is estimated at Advanced. Whitewater ratings are not exact: grades change with water level and season. Verify current conditions locally before you paddle.
The best time is July-August.
Nastapoka - Canoe access River is located in the Nord-du-Québec region of Canada.
