CHURCHILL RIVER, Saskatchewan The Saskatchewan portion of the Churchill is actually a series of connecting lakes - flat water connected by rapids and waterfalls. Bald Eagles nest along the shores, and colonies of pelicans and cormorants inhabit small rocky islands in its headwaters.A voyage down the Churchill River is a journey through quintessential Canadian wilderness. This is rolling, rocky Canadian Shield country in Northern Saskatchewan, a spectacular backdrop for time travel. Today's canoeists paddle by ancient rock paintings, and absorb the ancient native traditions that continue to this day. |
