NE Mistissibi River, Quebec

NE Mistissibi River Whitewater Canoe Trip

The NE Mistissibi River is one of Eastern Canada’s best whitewater canoe trips. It features over 70 sets of rapids in 70 miles, many over 1 kilometer in length. When paddling in low to medium water, there is only one short portage and several linings, making this an excellent river to paddle or pole that is not too physically demanding.

Scouting more difficult rapids prior to paddling provides helpful insight on how & where to run. There will be time to fish for Brook Trout and Northern Pike and for relaxing on the shores of a truly magnificent river in a remote wilderness region.
