A easy 2 1/2 day, 2 night trip, allows lots of time for swimming, fishing. Numerous small cliffs, allow for fun cliff diving. I found campsites to be poor, except for those on Sisseney which are beutiful sand beaches. Most portages good, many of the rapids can be run or tracked in low water. Hap Wilsons book" temagami canoe routes" has a good map and details of rapids and portages.

This is a very pleasant three night trip with good fishing. Campsites are generally good, and portages are relatively easy. There is one gravel road crossing about halfway. See Andrew George in Matachewan for shuttle.
