The upper Kitsumkalum River, located north of the city of Terrace, is an excellent day trip or short overnight trip for canoeing or kayaking. Boaters can start at the confluence of the Upper Kitsumkalum River and the Cedar River, north west of the town of Rosswood.
The paddle down the class 1 stretch of river, which offers excellent scenery and wildlife viewing opportunities, brings you to the north end of Kitsumkalum Lake. A short paddle along the north shore of the lake completes the trip. Paddlers should be aware of any sweepers or dead heads that may be difficult to spot.
