Minnesota The Seal River is completely undeveloped, wild and rugged. Today, the Seal attracts only a few native people and less than two dozen small groups per year of hardy wilderness adventurers. For these groups, travel downriver is difficult yet exhilarating canoeing. Numerous long rapids in a totally isolated, sub-arctic enviroment test their survival skills.
Hazards here are plentiful.
Rapids are often long, shallow, and boulder-strewn, and portage paths do not exist at present. The river is fast, shallow and icecold. Capsizing and hypothermia are very real possibilities. For these reasons, this trip is limited to only very experienced paddlers with demonstrated white water competency. The Seal River is located in the roadless wilderness of northern Manitoha.
