Notes

Wilson and Aykroyd present a detailed canoeing guide to the rivers of northern and eastern Manitoba, drawing on several years of field travel along historic fur-trade routes and Indigenous waterways. The work describes routes across varied landscapes, including boreal forest, shield country, and tundra, with individual accounts of the following rivers: Little North (Le Petite Nord), Bloodvein, Gammon, Pigeon, Berens, Hayes, Cochrane, Grass, Thlewiaza, Caribou, Seal, Manigotagan, and the Sasaginnigak and Leyond systems. Entries outline conditions, levels of difficulty, and remoteness, and are accompanied by maps indicating rapids, portages, channels, and campsites. The volume also includes practical information for expedition planning, including access, logistics, and available services.
