TRIP DESCRIPTION

Jackpine Paddle offers an array of guided sea kayak adventures in the East Arm of Great Slave Lake in Canada!

If the North has been on your bucket list for ages, these majestic islands offer a place like no others: unspoiled, remote, and iconic. With craggy cliffs and rocky islands, Blanchet and Etthen support bald eagles, terns and gulls. Breathtaking cliffs on both islands are built from rock as old as 2.7-billion years (the oldest in the world), making for some of the most epic campsites you’ll ever experience. If fishing is your thing, you’ll definitely want to bring a fishing rod to enjoy the seemingly bottomless depths surrounding these islands. They are swarming with trophy-sized lake trout. And because the lake is clean and cold, fish keep near the surface in summer, making for plenty fishing opportunities from a kayak and from camp.

To add an element of magic to these expeditions, we’ve picked dates to take advantage of autumn Aurora season. As you tip your head back in awe to catch the glittering lights dancing across the sky, we’ll show you the best of our spectacular Aurora. Great Slave Lake lies directly in the magnetic “Aurora Belt”, which means it’s one of the most reliable places on earth to spot the northern lights.

The East Arm is ideal for paddlers with camping experience, and novice to intermediate kayaking skills. It would be an excellent choice for paddlers with some kayaking experience seeking to expand on their skills.
