While paddling the Hayes you are experiencing a piece of Canada’s fur trade and settlement history. Like the colourful people who explored Canada’s north, the Hayes changes personality many times; from a spirited river with pool-and-drop rapids to a great northern river, characterised by steep gravel banks and long, continuous Class I-II rapids. The Hayes flows into Hudson Bay where the oldest trading post in western Canada, York Factory, is situated. Filled with relics from the height of the fur trade era, York Factory offers a glimpse into life as it was when the Hudson’s Bay Company was at its most powerful. No other river in western Canada offers the history and unspoiled remoteness of the Hayes River. When you explore the Hayes you are stepping back in time and following the paddle strokes of early explorers and fur traders.
