http://www.myccr.com/phpbbforum/viewtop ... 07&t=43606 Subregion North Ed notes.
1. Major waters are the Berens River and its tributaries (Shabumeni River and Serpent River).
2. The Berens River provides also a means to access Woodland Caribou PP.
3. Berens River Routes lying entirely in Manitoba (for example those starting in the Family Lake area) are filed only at
http://myccr.com/phpbbforum/viewtopic.php?f=113&t=34132 4. I found only little documentation for travel on the Poplar River in Ontario, not enough to justify posting entries here. Please go to the above link, namely
http://myccr.com/phpbbforum/viewtopic.php?f=113&t=34132 Berens River. Information.
Notes.
1. Toporama shows the Berens River as starting at the outlet of Wavell Lake, which is however fed by the Serpent River.
2. Most Berens River trips start at either Pikangikum or Family Lake (Little Grand Rapids, with both an airfield and a floatplane base), but the Berens above Pikangikum is paddled; here is an example:
http://myccr.com/phpbbforum/viewtopic.p ... ns#p297861 3. From Ontario (specifically Red Lake), road access appears to be possible only at Berens Lake (the lake).
