A legendary Labrador expedition spanning remote wilderness from the interior plateau to coastal settlements, offering multi-week backcountry paddling through pristine boreal forests and tundra. This is a serious expedition requiring extensive logistics and float-plane support, featuring challenging river crossings, massive lakes, and variable weather conditions including sudden storms and extreme cold. Spectacular isolation and encounters with Innu and Inuit culture make this a once-in-a-lifetime adventure for experienced paddlers. Best attempted July-August when ice is gone but conditions can still be unpredictable. Access requires float-plane flights from Goose Bay and careful route planning through designated river systems.
The difficulty of The Trip River varies by section.
The best time is July-August.
The Trip River is located in the Labrador region of Canada.
