This unspoilt wilderness is relatively well served by roads left over from the days of Canada's gold rush and from an attempt to exploit oil reserves, which facilitates access by adventure seekers. Canoeing is particularly popular.
Most trips are easy to arrange because starting and ending points have roadside access.
There is also the advantage of being able to resupply from communities located along the riverbank. Trips ranging from a few hours to several weeks can be organised. There is no shortage of white water for more experienced canoeists. While wild rivers such as the Bonnet Plume and the Firth must be reached by bush plane, other spectacular rivers, such as the Tatchenshini and the South Macmillan are accessible by road. Simple riverside campsites provide accommodation.
