The Amable du Fond River is a backcountry route in north-central Algonquin Park featuring a series of lakes and portages forming part of longer wilderness expeditions. The river section is narrow and overgrown with tag alder, requiring paddlers to duck under sweepers and navigate fast current sections. This is a remote, challenging route best suited for experienced canoeists seeking solitude in pristine wilderness. Multiple portage options and challenging navigation make this route suitable for week-long expeditions.
About 43 percent of this route lies inside Amable du Fond River Provincial Park / Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park.
