River Information The "Three Sisters" Rivers in Northwestern Quebec The Dumoine River The Dumoine River has long been a canoe tripping icon. Flowing through the heart of the Ottawa Valley, the river has a rustic charm that hearkens back to a pioneering spirit. The best rapids section is "drop and pool" allowing for moments to relax and catch your breath, (or bail your canoe) before heading on down for more excitement. The Noire River The Noire River has an almost creek-like charm. It has some of the longest continuous rapids of these three rivers. Starting off approximately 90 km from the mouth we experience the best the Noire has to offer. As though made for canoeing, the shallow technical runs offer boaters excellent play time. The more technical class III rapids are "pool and drop", offering a good challenge for the adventurous. The Noire's pushy current, tight turns, and tighter portages make it a must paddle for those interested in a truly classic creek run. Campsites on the upper part of the river tend to be surrounded by mixed forest, and toward the lower part of the river become spacious beach havens. Parts of this route can be challenging, but out talented staff will teach you what you need to know to enjoy this journey! The Coulonge River The Coulonge River is the least inhabited of these three rivers and still carries a feel of remoteness almost all the way to the end of our trip route. Well worn portage trails and forgiving rapids make this a prime river for beginners. Many consider this the finest tripping river in western Quebec.

We take our time going down Ten Mile Rapids, and spend the night at one of the Rivers serene campsites. Gens de Terre River Running between the Baskatong and Cabonga reservoirs in LaVerendrye Park, the Gens de Terre makes for a challenging run. The crux section of this river runs through an 80 ft deep canyon that puts out continuous class II-IV rapids for 25 km. This river is not for beginners. For intermediates and experts though, it presents an opportunity to play and explore a seldom traveled waterway. Characterized by steep drops and technical moves in pushy currents the Gens de Terre presents a unique canyon river experience in an area with few such challenges.

We often begin at Lake Travers, site of the Algonquin Radio Observatory. From here we travel through the heart of Algonquin Park, past Grillade Rapids, the Crooked Chute, and the heart-racing Rollway rapids. We make a point of camping at the Natch, a set of rapids under magnificent 30 meter cliffs adorned with rare ferns. The Natch is an historic Native Canadian gathering place to celebrate nature’s summer bounty. From here the river is truly a whitewater playground where most of the rapids are “run-able” and portages are rare. The Petawawa presents an exciting challenge for novice to intermediate paddlers. Long stretches of continuous class I rapids are an ideal opportunity to practice those peel-outs and eddy turns.
