The river runs between tall hills, wending it's way thru the range of mountains that form, amongst other things, the notorious Wreckhouse section the TCH, where tractor trailers are regularly blown over on their sides by the fierce wind gusts that barrel thru the gaps between the hills.
When we visited in early July, however, the weather cooperated, and our visitors - Michael, Gaetan and Helene - enjoyed civil breezes when they joined Chris and I for a paddle on one of the most beautiful river estuaries Newfoundland has to offer.
Definitely NOT the place a kayaker, or at least this kayaker, wants to be!!!

Good post Rick! What a great time we had exploring this area. And that haddock meal at the little café is still one of the highlights I frequently return to when thinking about the summer.
Beautiful part of the island, been through there a few times. Never saw a truck blown over, but felt the power from the winds off the Long Range.
Never had a chance to fish there, but a friend whose family had a camp in that area told me that some days it was cast to your left for salmon, cast to your right for trout, lol.
Open ID seems to be on the fritz?

Like Michael said, the haddock was really great and beeing with you guy's was very appreciate. We had nice paddling around and Helene and I will never forget how we were so greatly welcome. Our dreams are full of NFLD seas and country landscapes what a nice province.
