ABOUT THIS REGION  CANOEING - RIVER TRIPS

Whitewater canoeing trip on the Coulonge River

Whitewater author Hap Wilson describes the Coulonge River and its sister river, the Dumoine as "some" of the best whitewater canoeing in Canada. Here is why: when the earth cooled 300 million years ago, faults scored huge channels into the rock of the Laurentians. The Coulonge River became the perfect sluiceways for water, giving us the opportunity today to tempt fate and test our adrenal glands.

Whitewater canoeing trip on the Coulonge River

Of the two rivers, the Coulonge is the gentlest and ranks well for novice or intermediate paddlers. Geographically, it's a very diverse river with a number of exciting chutes and waterfalls, laid out in a valley through the beautiful Laurentian woods. The river's meandering is chopped into 69 runs, 70% of them Class IIs, the longest being a seven mile stretch. But you better like getting in and out of canoes because there are 19 portages on the menu, although most of them thankfully short jogs around waterfalls -- the river drops a whopping 850 feet over its length.
