What to expect

The Mistassibi Northwest River rises north of the 50th parallel and flows south into Lac St-Jean. This 7-day, 80 km expedition is of intermediate level. The first few kilometers of the river meander lazily through a mountainous landscape ideal for wildlife observation. Lac au Foin, with its majestic panorama, is a must on this descent. This is followed by a succession of rapids of different levels, from RI to RIII, all the way to the river exit. Along the way, the sometimes steep valley offers breathtaking scenery.
