As the river straightens out you will see Long Island on the left. It’s easy to figure out how it got its name due to how long the island is, and you will see plenty of deciduous and coniferous trees atop it. Keep an eye out for wildlife here, especially hawks, eagles, deer, moose, and even bears.Paddle Time

Elk Island Park is a decent place to stop when travelling on the river. Docking here can be difficult though as water levels tend to drop quickly, making it important to find a spot with plenty of water. The access road to this location is very narrow and steep and almost impossible in the rain and mud, so it is not advised to use in an emergency situation.Paddle Time

Right after departing Camp Island, you will come across an island in the middle of the river that was once a sand-dune island famously noted in Alexander Mackenzie’s journals. Now, you’ll find that it’s covered in tall grass and vegetation and is a favourite spot among the deer population here. The current can be a bit stronger around Sand Island, so be prepared for some waves if the water is high.Paddle Time

Kieyho Park can be difficult to spot from the river, and there isn’t a main trail to the campground from the river, but there is a road that is accessible by off highway vehicles only. This spot offers secluded camping facilities, picnic tables, fire pits, a day use area, hiking trails and a playground. If you feel like dropping a line in the river and doing some fishing, this has been known to be a great area for it.Paddle Time
