8 days self-guided canoe trip in the Pearl River Nature reserve or P\u00e4rl\u00e4lvens Naturreservat that it is called in Swedish. Here you find true wilderness with incredibly beautiful nature, with real old-growth forests and small mountains that line the lakes.
\n<\/strong>Here you meet very few people and the area is optimal for mixing paddling with hiking, fishing, and outdoor life.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lake Karats is an elongated lake that stretches<\/strong> approx. 25 km east to west. In the east, are flat areas with islands and islets. In the west, the valley gets narrower and the lake is lined by small mountains.
\nA day trip on foot up the mountain Farforita is highly recommended. Up there, you have a mile-long view of the nature reserve, which offers different types of forests. Here you can find everything from old pine forests to deciduous forests, mountain birches, and bare mountains.<\/p>\n

From Karats you can make a portage past the whitewater<\/strong> rapids in Lillselet over to the next lake called Peuraure, which is the same size as lake Karats. You have to carry the canoe because it\u2019s an uneven trail between the two lakes so it’s not possible to use a canoe cart here. It\u2019s a quite tough portage that usually takes a full day. First, you carry the canoe and then you walk back to get your bags and equipment. Then the same procedure when you\u2019re going back, so you need to calculate with 2 days just to go between these two lakes.
\nMost people chose to just stay on Lake Karats and explore and enjoy all the nice places around there.<\/p>\n

There are no fixed routes in this area. Lake Karats and Peuraure are<\/strong> huge\u00a0lakes so do not\u00a0set an exact plan that you have to paddle around the whole lake or of how many kilometers you should paddle each day. The thing with being in the wilderness is to\u00a0enjoy\u00a0each day as it comes. You can never plan for what the weather or wind would be like so you have to have an open mindset and be prepared to change plans. Live with nature. Take each day as it comes, camp where you find a nice spot, fish and just\u00a0enjoy\u00a0life!<\/p>\n

You need to have some outdoor experience to go canoeing in this area.<\/strong>\u00a0There are no marked trails, big parts of the area have no cellphone connection, it\u2019s far away from help and very few people travel here.
\nYou need to be aware that strong winds can set in quickly and high waves may occur on a big lake which can make it very dangerous in just minutes. So, be careful and always paddle close to shore and never cross the whole lake.<\/p>\n
