Nakina is a small town about an hour north of Ontario’s Hwy11, near several tributaries to the Albany river and dozens of lakes. Many of the canoe routes near Nakina offer fly-in remoteness and privacy, with drive-up or shuttle accessibility. Lately I have shown more interest in paddling river routes, and Nakina’s Drowning River seemed to offer a good opportunity to travel a remote Albany River tributary without having to splurge on a bush plane. I was never able to find more than a couple of older trip reports on travelling the river, but the Greenstone area’s tourism department has a good brochure on the river here: https://www.myccr.com/sites/default/files/drowning_river_canoe_route_brochure_r.pdf Although the route is advertised as a loop, with upstream travel up the Waba River, the 2nd half of the loop is universally advised against. Apparently the upstream section of the Waba can be challenging, and there is a 2km portage through a swamp that no longer exist. My travel would be exclusively on the Drowning River portion of this trip, starting near Lower Twin Lake and ending near Supawn Lake.
