Hart River Attributes:
- Travels north of the Arctic Circle if you follow it all the way to Fort McPherson
- Is comparable in beauty to the Wind, but more challenging due to a long portage and a few sections of harder white water
- Multi-day hiking accessible from the upper portions of the river
- Less river traffic than the Wind or Snake because of Aberdeen Canyon portage
- Includes a long 3km portage around the beautiful Aberdeen Canyon on the Peel River
- Includes a scenic float-plane flight
The Hart River is an Ideal Choice For:
- Experienced intermediate or advanced paddlers searching for a full wilderness experience with the challenge of a large portage and plenty of time to fully immerse in the wilderness
