The information in this booklet is intended to be of general assistance only and the Government of Saskatchewan assumes no responsibility for its use. Canoeists are reminded that they travel at their own risk at all times. This stretch of rapids is recommended for experienced canoeists, prepare for some wading and a certain amount of damage to the canoe. 73-J Green Lake is also required for canoeists making the optional trip to the junction of the Waterhen and Beaver Rivers. Scenery varies from the cut banks of the swift river to placid marsh vistas teeming with waterfowl and muskrats further down stream.
Fishing is good for pike and walleye throughout the trip.
Most, if not all, can be run safely. If in any doubt, stop and look the rapids over from shore. If they appear risky at existing water levels, wade down through the shallows near shore, guiding the canoe slowly by hand or with a strong rope. The lower Waterhen is a delight to the experienced canoeist. There is wild game, fishing, beautiful and varied scenery and a wide choice of attractive natural campsites.
