One minute on the Nation River - Tchentlo Lake to Chuchi Lake

Located on the Nation Lakes Canoe Route, this section of the Nation River meanders for 3.7 kilometres through an alluvial flood plain covered with evergreen trees. When we paddled it, the water level was low. We had to line our canoes down a couple of riffles. Everywhere else, we floated with the current, manoeuvring only at the corners or to get past debris fallen from the banks.

We stopped on a gravel bar to stretch our legs and do a little bit of fishing. Once we resumed our float down the river, we spotted blankets of wildflowers on the rockslides along the banks.
