The Dumoine River is a canoe tripper’s paradise - 75 clicks of magnificent river.
The location is remote — so remote that we fly in and canoe out. The river is predominantly class II with a few class III’s thrown in to keep your attention. . . 8 days of wilderness camping, whitewater, eagles, cliffs and walks in the woods. There are enough rapids here to satisfy the most advanced paddlers. The fishing is outstanding. Meals are special affairs featuring fresh ingredients and Dutch Oven delights cooked over an open fire. Becoming part of this river nurtures and strokes the body and spirit. It is keenly a satisfying experience.
Rushing down an action-packed, pool-drop riverbed of boulders and granite, the Dumoine flashes and dances through an invigorating multitude of rapids and waterfalls, with calm sections to collect our thoughts. The water is clear and clean; the fishing is heavenly; and the woods lining the banks are lovely to behold and ideal for camping. Becoming part of this river nurtures and strokes the body and spirit. It is a keenly satisfying experience.
The Dumoine is known for its consistent flows, more than adequate for whitewater throughout the summer. The river is predominantly class II with a few class III’s thrown in to keep your attention, and some lakes to relax. We’ll stop to scout all the major rapids and there is usually always a ‘cheat’ route. Our guides are expert coaches, and combined with your desire to learn, you can develop your river sense, whitewater skills and paddling confidence. If you choose not to run a particular rapid, one of the party can usually be convinced to run your canoe through.
Our pace will be leisurely to enjoy the wilderness and spectacular scenery. We’ll have free time for photography, fishing, swimming, sunning and relaxing, or for day hikes to the cliffs and waterfalls. Coaching and instruction, river reading and scouting techniques are offered by our guides. Though prior paddling experience is usually required, this trip is not beyond the ability of adventurous beginners.
We will supply all food, canoes, tents, kitchen, first-aid and repair kits. You are responsible for personal clothing and gear, and a sleeping bag and pad and helping in camp duties. A detailed list is included in your confirmation packet.
