It is the canoeist's responsibility to proceed with caution and alertness, using discretion and good judgement at all times. 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. Arrangements for the safe parking of vehicles may be made with one of the camp outfitters at Missinipe.
Otter Lake forms part of the Churchill River system.
Accommodation, food, gasoline and telephone services are available at Missinipe. It is suitable for the relatively inexperienced canoeist as there are no rapids to run and only three short portages. This trip, however, traverses much of Otter Lake, the many islands and bays of which require constant use of the map to avoid confusion. Under adverse wind conditions the lake may become very rough. In such event canoeists should be prepared to wait out bad weather.
