Rafts. Inflatable rafts from 12'-18' with rowing frames are recommended. Canoes and Kayaks. Rigid hull kayaks are acceptable for the river; however they do present a problem with transport out of Dry Bay. Currently, the only air taxi which can transport most rigid hull kayaks or canoes is the Hawker-Siddley (Air North). Open canoes and folding kayaks are not recommended. A minimum of two boats per party is recommended for safety. Rescue gear and emergency equipment, including a radio, are recommended. On supported and unsupported kayak trips, one spare paddle and one extra life preserver are required for every 4 kayaks and/or canoes. If there are fewer than 4 kayaks or canoes, one spare paddle and one spare life preserver are required.
