This trip starts with a floatplane flight from Happy Valley-Goose Bay to Harp Lake, a canyon-walled lake in north-central Labrador, and follows the Ugjoktok River east toward the Labrador Sea, ending at Hopedale on the coast. The first portage passes a large waterfall by a route through Owl's Cove. Rapids below it carry names such as Fire Rapid, Boulder Dash, Paddle Right or Die and Ray's Run for Home. Big sand and gravel banks line the river, and camps are on sand bars or caribou moss under black spruce. The source describes an 11-day trip counted from Goose Bay.
