About

The De Pas - Lower George route offers one of Canada's most legendary wilderness paddling experiences, starting via the De Pas River access to reach the mighty George River. This massive river features volume-style rapids with huge boulders and powerful hydraulics, requiring advanced whitewater skills as it flows through stunning subarctic terrain. The route traverses over 400 miles through northern Quebec's boreal forest and rolling hills on a wide river with challenging whitewater stretches, offering crystal-clear water and exceptional fishing for trout and salmon. Best season is July-August when water levels are manageable, with access typically via train to Schefferville then floatplane or overland to starting points.
