The Charpentier/Leaf (Aux Feuilles) offers one of Quebec's most pristine arctic paddling experiences, flowing 480km from Lake Minto to Ungava Bay. This classic northern river features crystal-clear water, runnable Class II-III rapids with minimal portages, and abundant wildlife including caribou, bears, and seals. The route passes through stunning barren hills above treeline, requiring advanced skills for the extreme tidal challenges in Leaf Bay. Best paddled in August during the brief 60-day ice-free season, access is via expensive charter flights from Kuujjuaq.
The difficulty of Charpentier/Leaf (Aux Feuilles) River varies by section.
The best time is August.
