Itinerary:

We will drive on Saturday Aug 8th to Missinipe Saskatchewan, and paddle 140 kms in 7 days, to La Ronge Saskatchewan. There are 5-8 portages on the route, the longest is about 1.1 km around the 40 foot Nistowiak Falls. We will return on Sunday August 16th to Edmonton. This trip will be canoe route #2 of the Saskatchewan Government maintained routes.
This is wilderness camping, there are no established camp sites on the route and we will have to dig our own latrines, and do without picnic tables.
Anyone who wishes to attend is going to have to email me (Donna) with their previous camping and canoeing experience, before I will consider them for this trip.

Required Items to Bring:
canoe, paddles, life jackets, clothes, food, tents, stoves, the usual for 9 days in the wilderness.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

Carpool Cost:

The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $551.00 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Tuesday, April 23, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.
