Flowing to the Arctic Ocean and near the Arctic Circle, the Coppermine River is famous for its nesting raptors including gyrfalcons, peregrine falcons, rough-legged hawks and golden and bald eagles. Follow Franklin's Footsteps to the 'Polar Sea' and experience the wildlife and the unequalled beauty of the "Land of the Midnight Sun".
On this Coppermine rafting trip, cross the Arctic Circle and paddle to Franklin's "Polar Sea". Names like Bloody Falls and Rocky Defile foreshadow the adventure that awaits and contrast the abundance of "showy" Arctic flowers. The Coppermine River features spectacular fishing for arctic grayling and char!
Paddle the Coppermine over 12 river days, from Big Bend to the hamlet of Kugluktuk (formerly Coppermine) traveling approximately 215 kilometers (135 miles) with an elevation drop of 280 meters (900 feet).
