Hikers planning on tackling the trail should look into buying the Itijjagiaq Trail Guide . The guide provides a detailed description of the trail, including contour maps, emergency shelters, and points of interest. Park protocol and regulations are also included. From Kimmirut, the cooling effects of the Arctic Ocean quickly fade as you hike inland into the park. As you approach the south end of the Soper Valley, where the river flows into the lake at Soper Falls, you'll find the first of several camping areas.
Facilities here are limited to washrooms and tent platforms with windbreaks.
Terraces further along the valley also provide good spots to set up camp. Day-hike possibilities from these areas abound. As its name suggests, Katannilik is full of waterfalls. The largest is Soper Falls, where the emerald green Soper River flows into Soper Lake through a white marble chasm. The Soper River Guidebook is a good resource for anyone travelling on the river .
