TATACHIKAPIKA RIVER CANOE TRIP

This past May, we had the pleasure of paddling this hidden gem of a river. Not too well known and remote, the Tat numerous runnable rapids.

The Tatachikapika River starts north of Gogama and eventually flows into the Mattagami River closer to Timmins. It is a spring river and must be run early before it gets too dry.

It was quite obvious from the overgrowth on the portages and campsites that this is a very seldom used river. I don't really understand why, since the days are easy and the whitewater wonderful.

I would like to say a special thank you to Jen and Carol at Timmins Adventure Tour. They were great at arranging our shuttle and finding us an excellent take out for our trip.

This river I will certainly be doing again.

Check out my Pages section for the entire trip report.

One of many exciting rapids.


Typical rapid.

Yours truly.
