This, by far, has been the best video I've watched in quite some time. No faff, no promoting crap, no ''here's how I saw a log for a fire''. On top of that, despite one of you having the dodgiest moustaches I've ever seen and looking like you will be on a Netflix documentary in the future, running big balls rapids and awesome editing. Win win win. Thank you, gents!

hahaha - "here's how I saw a log for a fire" yes. that gets old immediately!

This was a great story being told. As a person who has paddled the White River from White Lake Park to Hattie Cove 14 times, and once solo, the memories flooded my soul. There were places lost and will never be found, there were majestic rapids that now run under large lakes, but in the end, the White River still prevails with its finding home at Superior. Again, thank you, great great great canoe video.

I was just wishing for a new canoe trip to watch today. That was fantastic and I really, really enjoyed it. Much needed vicarious canoe therapy. Loved seeing so many new parts of our regional backyard here. And your capture of and discussion on the industrial impacts. I'm always conflicted about hydro dams but it was sad to see falls as pretty as Umbata affected like that. Can't believe those dicks at Ess Rapids. Well done and well paddled--thank you!

Perfect timing! Thanks so much Jon. It was a long one, so appreciate you watching it in one go. I agree, the dams are unfortunate, especially because the river is still pretty incredible with them, but it does mar an excellent canoe route as well as an amazing river. Yeah, that incident at Ess Rapids was so unexpected. Never had that ever happen. So weird. Thanks buddy!

Thanks so much for posting that! I’ve paddled the White R., both times from the town in the 80’s and 90’. You’ve taken me down memory lane seeing Umbata and the canyon etc. and even the last “portage campsite”. It’s a stellar river. I have mixed feelings about the development but very glad to see that the Pic and Mobert bands were involved. Really enjoyed the footage of rapid running. I was yelling “draw”....”crossbow” as you went!

Your approach to Umbata was correct. You start crossing the grassy area/bay on the west shore and then finding the trail up and into the woods. Hard to believe few people see the falls from the old viewing platform now. Keep filming! All the best.

Just today came across this video which brought back some memories.. I did this river with a group of 12 Junior Rangers(6Canoes) on/about 1969, watching your video only confirmed my memory of its harsh river conditions.. I don't recall no Federal Park office back in those days...I was working for the old Department Lands and Forests in those days.. at 75yrs, I wouldn't dare try canoeing it today... I would have been 19yrs old in 1969. We all had Cedar Strip Canoes in those days and had to stop several times to patch the canoes from rock damage with spruce/pine gum pitch.

I have to admit, I was somewhat saddened to learn about the two new dams constructed below the original White Lake dam....especially the one above Umbata falls. August of 1989 before those dams were constructed, Fred Freeman and myself, our two solo canoes, and equipment for three weeks, traveled by train from Thunder Bay to Mobert (the last year that Via rail ran that route). Five glorious days on the White, camping, running rapids and portaging (do remember the long and sweaty portage around Unbata) in a virtually untouched wilderness, spilling out onto Lake Superior......ten days paddling the Lake to the Michipicoten River to Wawa and beyond....four days up the Michipicoten and finally to the town of Missanabie to catch our train back to Thunder Bay. Your video brought back those wonderful memories. Take care, Gardner.

I was the one that mapped out, maintained and wrote the canoe route brochures for the White River back in the late seventies. I've paddled the entire White many times from Negwazu L. I was a student working for MNR, mapping and producing brochures for most of the rivers in the old White River district. If there are any yellow portage signs left on these routes then they were mine.

Thanks a lot Allen! Appreciate you checking it out!

Great video, new viewer! Thanks for sharing, I just want to say that the gentleman telling you guys to leave the fishing spot is shocking. I was happy to hear that you just stayed, and you smacked some walleye in front of them!

Hey Jack, thanks so much! Yeah, that was so unexpected as we were having a nice conversation and then to hear that. We actually did leave the area they were fishing at (at the end of Ess Rapids) and we moved on, but apparently it wasn't good enough. That's where we made our stand and yes, it worked out great with the fishing. Thanks a lot my friend!
