Paddling the Porcupine River

Porcupine River The Porcupine is Saskatchewan’s most northerly river, starting from Selwyn Lake on the border of the Northwest Territories. It is considered the #1 river trip in Saskatchewan. It’s a clear, wild river, rushing 150 km south from its headwaters to join the Fond du Lac River just before it cascades into Black Lake. Large falls and rapids drop through black gorges and over large granite boulders and smooth, gray gneiss. Called ‘Dead Man’s River’ by the Dene for its rugged lower canyon, the trip is not for the faint of heart. It has incredible scenery and some very picturesque waterfalls. There are quite a few rapids that you can't run, and numerous that you can. It is an excellent river for photography, from exciting whitewater shots of canoes crashing through large waves, to fantastic landscapes. This ‘Land of Little Sticks’ will always surprise you; around the next corner you may find a perfect crescent beach, a massive rock slide or the quintessential taiga. Its as close to a mountain setting as you will find in Saskatchewan! As few people paddle the river, it is unlikely that you'll see others on the river. Bald eagles, bear, moose and possibly caribou can be seen. The trip begins/ends with charter flights from Points North. This trip is run in co-operation with Churchill River Canoe Outfitters (CRCO).
