CHURCHILL RIVER: The Saskatchewan portion of the Churchill is actually a series of connecting lakes - flat water connected by rapids and waterfalls. Bald Eagles nest along the shores, and colonies of pelicans and cormorants inhabit small rocky islands in its headwaters. A voyage down the Churchill River is a journey through quintessential Canadian wilderness.

QU'APPELLE: The 430-km long Qu'Appelle is the quintessential prairie river - a subtly beautiful landscape, an ever changing course and gently touched by the presence of humans. The broad river valley flows through the richest, most scenic agricultural land in Canada. The Qu'Appelle draws its water from a number of large lakes, including Last Mountain Lake, host to one of the most spectacular bird migrations in the prairies.

NORTH SASKATCHEWAN: The North Saskatchewan cuts through the heartland of western Canada. It is a historical river of remarkable diversity. At its source atop the massive Columbia Icefield, the Saskatchewan glacier is a spectacular natural jewel. Along its course, it crosses an ecological treasure known as the Kootenay Plains and the imposing reservoir of Abraham Lake.
