14 Days in the Saskatchewan Boreal - Part II

This trip takes place in East central Saskatchewan, Northwest of the border towns Creighton, SK and Flin Flon, MB. The starting/end point of this trip is just off of highway 135 at the outfitter Slim’s Cabins. It is a 2 week, 250km solo canoe trip with 34 portages and great fishing. On day three of the trip I tackled a 1.2km portage from Mukoman Lake to Belcher Lake. The portage was in fair to good condition, but there was a lot of heat and bugs, so I was happy to get it out of the way. From there I do a little of bit of exploring and fishing as I paddle to the south end of Belcher. The next portage is a short one but it holds a lot of significance for this trip. When I last came to this area (around 2013), I bumped into this portage on my way South to Attitti Lake. Being naïve, I was surprised there was a portage, but it sparked my curiosity to come back and explore what was one the other side. I’m grateful that today was the day I finally got to do that. I was also grateful that there was some semblance of a trail for the next three portages. I cleared trail for the first two portages and I raced across the last one to McArthur Lake as the sun was getting low in the sky. On McArthur, I caught a Lake Trout for supper, and eventually found a camping spot, though it wasn’t the best. On day four of the trip, I managed to get away late again as I usually take my time to savor the morning, coffee and fire. Regardless, it didn’t take long before I paddled to my first portage. There was no indication of any kind of trail other than an old melted aluminum boat. At least the portage was short. From there I follow a shallow creek where I had to line my canoe twice. From there I venture further downstream until I bumped into my second and last portage of the day. From what I could see there was no established portage (I probably checked the wrong side), so I had to cut my way through. The amount I had to cut could have been worse; the tough part was the undulating topography. Once past this barrier, I floated down stream until I reached Nemei (Cree word for “Trout”) Lake. I paddled to a camp at a site that I came across when I traveled up the Nemei River in 2021. I did film that trip, but my external hard drive hit the floor and I lost all my footage. Just Would like to give a big thanks to the Pelican Narrows and Sandy Bay band offices for helping me with the translations of the lake names. If anyone notices any mistakes, please let me know! Sorry in advance for any mispronunciation. Thanks for watching! Saskatchewan Documented Canoe Routes: https://www.churchillrivercanoe.com/t...
