Join a group of experienced wilderness trippers as we tackle the Bloodvein River this August.

Our group of 8 paddlers with four boats will be driving to Bissett, MB and flying into Artery Lake, on the border of Ontario / Manitoba. This section of the river spans some 225 km, with over 80 sets of Cl 2-3 rapids.

Planning will be done jointly over a series of Zoom meetings.
