Churchill River Canoe Outfitters - Brabant Lakes Circuit
Churchill River
Jul 8, 2021 to Sep 20, 2021
This is a beautiful eight-day route for the beginner paddler. You will get to see some typical Precambrian Shield type terrain – granite rock outcroppings and island filled lakes. You’ll paddle through some excellent examples of the disappearing northern Boreal Forest - large stands of black spruce, jack pine, trembling aspen and white birch. You’ll paddle “The land of the silver birch; home of the beaver.” Here is a seldom visited but incredibly spectacular circuit 150 km north of Missinipe, a virtually untouched wilderness far from the sounds of civilization. Those who have travelled this area have likened it to the best that Quetico has to offer, minus the human impact. Our route brings us down Brabant Lake into Kakabigish Lake, over Settee, north to Buchanan, down the Wierzcyki River and Chartier Rivers and finishes up in Brabant Lake again.

This 5-day adventure both starts and ends at the Churchill River Canoe Outfitters base in Missinipe. The route passes through some of the most incredible rapids on the Churchill River! This is a beautiful route for paddlers of all levels hoping to get some whitewater action as well as build the necessary skills for moving upstream and downstream in a big river canoe tripping environment. Lots of decision making, lots of opportunity for running, (swimming?!), or portaging some of the legendary rapids around Barker Lake. The route starts at Devil Lake and works up the Churchill River through Little Devil and Great Devil Rapids. From there, enjoy a short stretch of upstream travel and a short portage into Bellows Lake for a side tour into the smaller waterways off the beaten path to enjoy the stellar Champagne Island campsite. After that it's into Barker Lake via Sluice Portage and camping at Corner Rapid for a day and a half of whitewater fun. On the last day with newly honed river running skills you will paddle back to Devil Lake via Murray Rapid (a Class II+/III rapid), Mosquito (a Class III rapid bypassed via a short portage) or the Three Sisters /(Class I with a very short portage at the end over the Class III Staircase Rapid).
