How To Get To This Trip
Located in northwestern Saskatchewan, the Clearwater River is, as the name implies, an unspoiled, clear-water river in a pristine wilderness setting of spectacular beauty. The river flows through numerous rapids, over a number of spectacular falls and through several canyons. Many of the rapids are easily shootable by experienced canoeists.
