I have paddled it in 98.
Me and a friend started in Rae Edzo and went through Winter Lake to
Point Lake and then down to Kugluktuk.
Nice trip, mostly easy, straightforward whitewater, no portages.
Bloody Falls are a blast.

e-mail me if you need details.

Cheers, Jan

replace " AT " with @
and " DOT " with .

The trip is great since it is cheap. We did it late in the season and did
not meet anyone else. (came to Kugluktuk sometime in September)
