Hello All,

Does anyone know who did the first complete descent of the Kazan River from Reindeer Lake? The first record I see in Gwyneth Hoyles book is George Luste in 1974.

Tyrrell didn't finish in 1894. Mallet turned around in 1926. Is there a record of anyone completing the trip before Luste?

The first mention of anyone paddling to Baker Lake is John Lentz in 1966. Was he the first? He flew to Snowbird Lake.

Send me an email if you'd like to chat (jmcnamar@boisestate.edu). I come here about once a decade.

Jim
