- Or from Pashkokogan Lake and Pashkokogan River to Osnaburgh Lake.
We have also included two alternate finishes:
- The Raymond and Pikitigushhi Rivers to Pikitigushi Lake and the Airport Road for a shuttle to Armstrong.

- Or, of course, you can always pre-arrange a fly-out from anywhere along the route
