The chance to travel through a landscape so untouched and rarely visited was a real privilege and one of the true standout destinations among all my travel experiences.

Paul Jordan, UK | Taltson River Expedition

nahanni national park reserve

Dan Wong and his people put together the most amazing paddle adventure in one of the last, true, unspoiled frontiers.

If you are judging by the campsites and the food, you will never believe you are roughing it. The nights are so dark the Auroras really stand out. The world is so quiet you can hear the howl of the wolves. The water is so clean you can drink it right from the lake. The entire experience is truly a one-of-a-kind.

Frosty Gordon, USA | Eileen Lake Expedition

Jackpine Paddle made possible the trip of a lifetime to an exciting and wild part of the planet that very few are fortunate enough to experience.

I hope very much to be able to do another trip with the crew at Jackpine Paddle!

Central Arctic

62°52’N  105°31’W

It’s better in the Barrenlands – a remote and otherworldly zone of glacial eskers, rock-ribbed hills, and artifacts from the Chipewyan and Caribou Inuit cultures. You’ll find a treeless expanse legendary for paddling, fishing and wildlife viewing.

Great Slave Lake

62°09’N  111°52’W

The fabled East Arm is perhaps the most grandiose region of Great Slake Lake, and for good reason. It features clear waters, deep bays with tall, stark red cliffs, and world-class fishing.

Western Arctic

69°51’N 126°56’W

The Arctic Circle is a line of lore and legend – and the Western Arctic is one of the few places in Canada where you can reach it by river. You can watch the sun spin itself dizzy in the sky, never falling below the horizon. You’ve now crossed into the true polar zone, a mythic region only a fraction of the travellers on Earth have ever entered.

Mackenzie Mountains

62°59’N  129°01’W

The Mackenzie Mountains may offer the greatest whitewater canoeing left on Earth – an endless oasis of remote, rugged uplands, cut through by glacial rivers and bustling with mountain sheep, caribou, moose and other creatures untouched by the modern age.
