At the end of July, my father (at 72-years-old!) and I completed an 11-day Trip from the Allanwater Bridge in Wabakimi to Bukemiga Lake on Highway 527. The water levels were abysmally low making for a challenging and dangerous grind at times.
The scenery was incredible, as was the solitude. The photos on the report in no way do justice to the beauty of the area.
It's a long read, but hopefully interesting for those who have done the trip or have intentions to do the trip.
