A note or two about the various rapids along the Rupert River
Rapids names:
Most names have been in use for hundreds of years.
A. P. Low, the very first man to document and survey the area
between 1888 & 1895 said that the
names "were always there".

The rapids of the Rupert River are not to be trifled with or
approached with anything but caution and respect. Some of them
will quickly kill you. |
