Five hundred miles north of
metropolitan New York lies a vast wilderness the size of Alaska. Beginning on
Newfoundland's Labrador Plateau in eastern Quebec, the Magpie River flows untouched
through hundreds of miles of lake dotted virgin forests of pine and multicolored moss,
hurling down steep granite gorges and off spectacular falls before emptying into the St.
Lawrence River. Our only access to this seldom seen corner of North American wilderness is
by float plane. Using self-bailing paddleboats, we run Class 4 rapids, explore remote
glacial-gouged lakes and gorges, watch for moose, bear and osprey, and bask in the
canyon's extraordinary solitude. |
