Three of us took on this 322 km adventure with two kayaks and a canoe. It was planned for 14 days, and we finished it in 11 due to lack of campsites further along the journey.
This was by far the most mentally challenging trip so far. Between the poor weather (rained 8/11 days), the temperatures dropping to 6 C in July, the bugs (sand flies, black flies, mosquitos, deer flies and horse flies), the number of portages (total of 5.5 km one way) and the physical exertion of three 50 km days, it was tough.
I have to say that the rapids were a lot of fun though. They are always my favourite part of any trip. I filmed as many as I could for your viewing pleasure.
For a different perspective, please see my friend Mike's video of our trip at In the Woods Crafting:

This was great, we used it to help plan our trip down the lower missinaibi with our kids...as we couldn't find much info on the paddle. Keep on rocking it!

That’s amazing!! So glad I could help! How did your trip turn out?

It was great, its been on my list for years! Kids loved it too! Water was a little low at times, but we wanted less bugs, and new that be the case...made it easier for the kids too. Lots of fish, moose, bear and good times.@@marieandree33

They put that big sign at thunder house because on the American maps. The portage is show on right of the river. Every year canoeist would drown.

Ya, it’s pretty nuts! It’s also really far from the actual portage. But at least it gets you ready.

consider going back into the trees and cutting a tent site- warmer back there out of the wind- maybe; more protection from rain and wind?

@marieandree33 2 месяца назад

Unfortunately you can’t do that. Both sides of the river are a provincial park with designated camp sites. You gotta take what you can get. No chopping new sites.

@jonathanberger2146 4 месяца назад

never been in a kayak; can one carry it like a canoe rather than dragging- might go easier?

Oh gosh no. I store a lot of waterproof items, loosely. And I don’t have a big bag to put everything in. I’m also stubborn and only want to do one trip 😂. Even though I’m slower, I end up finishing first from those that do multiple portage trips.
