 SOPER
RIVER --
The Soper River winds through the tundra covered hills of
southern Baffin Island.
Its valley, sheltered
from harsh winds, supports a ‘forest’ of willows
and a lush profusion of arctic wildflowers.
Caribou, ptarmigan
and arctic hare make the valley their home, and you can find
arctic char in the river. The Inuit have used the Soper River
as a vital source of food and travel for thousands of years.

 Also
called ‘Kuujuak’ (Great
River), The Soper has been designated a Canadian Heritage River.
Our trip covers 60 km of current, class 1 and occasional class
2 whitewater. We will paddle the river SOAR inflatable canoes.
These stable craft allow even novices to canoe the river.
This
is a fabulous adventure for your first arctic canoe
trip but experienced paddlers will enjoy the route too. |
