About

The Rivière Doncaster flows through Saint-Adèle's Parc de la rivière Doncaster, built on the site of a former hydroelectric dam, with trails alongside magnificent snow-covered conifers, the river and its rapids. This smaller river offers a more intimate paddling experience through the Laurentian foothills. The park provides a four-season outdoor environment accessible to families, located 50 minutes from Montreal. While not as developed for paddling as larger rivers, it provides access to local waterways. The presence of rapids suggests some moving water, though specific difficulty levels are undocumented.
