Lunch on Moisie357 viewsOn August 11 we had one portage, starting in the creek, then branching left over the ridge. Part of broken yellow Esquif canoe on the other side. We had lunch there and used it for a table. It is a huge campsite spot.

Moisie - Railroad bridge over Trestle rapid347 viewsWe hiked up to the bridge - there is a nice staircase there, first wooden, then steel. While we were on the bridge, locomotive came and we had to run to hide. Later Paul & Joe claimed they saw another person somewhere up there. Maybe it was a ghost? Ghost of a drowned paddler...

Fish Ladder Waterfall on Moisie (Katchapahun)546 viewsAt the Fish Ladder we took a portage on river right. It is a very steep path up, along a path behind the cliffy hill. Despite the steep profile, the path is relatively in a good shape. Nice camp on the other side, lots of boardwalk & the cabin. We portaged around first R3 (ledge) using the boardwalk.

Waterfall on Pekans River1033 viewsMarilyn posing in front of the waterfall.
After about the 1/3 of the portage, we found a paddler's full gear: tarp, PFD, thermarest, clothing, 2 paddles, 60l barrel with no harness (nobody dared to open it). Quite scary to think what happened to this person.

Pekans - Moisie portage911 viewsIt took us a while to find start of Pekans/Moisie portage. Very buggy - blackflies. Portage trail wasn't easy to follow esp. at the start. At one point, side path splits off to the right (but then ends soon). Main trail goes straight up the rock and it's hard to see. We portaged in two and a half passes. It was a very hard portage: rocky, muddy at the places, with one gully to cross.Jan 18, 2008

Campsite at the waterfall on Moisie River861 viewsAs we were approaching waterfall at km 262, we noticed smoke rising on the right side. There is a campsite at the end of the portage and there we found a group of 8 canoeists from France. They spoke very little English and we spoke very little French. Quiet deep canyon on Moisie They travelled in 4 funny looking SEPAL canoes (fiberglass). Guy called Jean has a form for it in Charlevoix, QC. Such canoe is capable of carrying 5 big barrels. They were taking 3 weeks paddling through Carheil (Fermont, QC start)Jan 18, 2008

Quiet deep-water canyon on Moisie559 viewsBetween km 228 and 229 of Pekans/Moisie route, there is nice, quite narrow canyon. Water is very calm there, which means the river has to be very deep there.
