The Seal River flows virtually straight east along a route passing just south of the Manitoba/Northwest Territories border into Hudson Bay. The river starts in the forests of the Precambrian Shield. The surroundings change dramatically as you approach the Bay. The forests shrink first, into taiga, known also as "the Land of Little Sticks", before disappearing completely. By the time you reach Hudson Bay there isn't a tree in sight, only Arctic tundra as far as the eye can see. The Seal River is best known for its wildlife. The seals swim over 100 miles inland up river to catch fish. Geese nest by the thousands along the river. Black bear, Arctic fox and wolves all gather along the river to feed on the nesting geese who during their nesting period cannot fly. As you approach Hudson Bay polar bears are often seen. As a final wildlife enthusiast's treat, you may see one of the large groups of beluga whales, which congregate at the mouth of the river. This river is also well known for its whitewater. Paddlers are treated to many sections of challenging rapids ranging from Class II to Class III+.
