About

Limited documentation suggests a relatively calm river suitable for intermediate paddlers seeking quiet water and fishing opportunities in a remote setting. The route provides access to coastal communities and boasts unique Labrador tundra vegetation and wildlife; best paddled June-August when ice is absent and water levels support paddling.
