About

The Rivière aux Pommes offers an excellent introduction to Quebec whitewater with its 15 rapids ranging from R1 to R3 across beginner to intermediate terrain. This gentle gradient river (0.2-0.6% slope) flows through the Capitale-Nationale region providing scenic forest paddling with convenient camping at 2 designated sites. The variety of rapid classes makes it perfect for skill progression, while the absence of mandatory portages keeps the focus on paddling technique. Best accessed from late May through September when water levels are optimal for the full range of rapids.
