The Missinaibi River echoes with the ghosts of its past. Northeastern Ontario's Missinaibi River is one of the only river systems that links James Bay to Lake Superior, so saw most of its travellers during the fur trade era. Abandoned lumber mills, ghost towns and Native cemeteries are found along its banks. The river has one of the largest collections of pictographs in the province. Today, its pristine waters form Missinaibi Park, one of Canada's richest troves of wildlife. The Missinaibi's untouched natural beauty and stretches of whitewater make it a canoeist's dream, a quiet escape from urban pressures. |
