Package Description:
The Ultimate Canadian Experience! Fly into the Hudson Bay Lowlands on a bush plane, canoe a river of the fur trade, camp each night on the bank of a sub-arctic river, visit Native Cree villages, explore James Bay, and return on the Polar Bear Express Train, all on a trip suitable for beginner and intermediate paddlers.

Our Lower Missinaibi Expedition is the perfect package for those looking for a Northern Wilderness adventure, without the rigors of portaging. In fact, many days we rig a sail and enjoy the luxury of a summer tailwind as we sail towards James Bay- the largest estuary in the world!

We begin our trip with a flight over Thunderhouse Falls, and land on the Missinaibi River, 40 miles north of the last road, and the last portage. From here it is a downstream paddle to the Cree settlement of Moose River Crossing. Here, we flag down the Polar Bear train and take it the last 60 miles north to Moosonee and Moose Factory on the James Bay coast. After exploring these native frontier villages we return to Cochrane aboard the famous Polar Bear Express train.

This adventure combines the unique natural history of the James Bay Lowlands with the colourful cultural and human history of the aboriginal and early European inhabitants.
