The Du Chef River flows from Lac Laganière to its confluence with the Ashuapmushuan River in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region. This remote wilderness route passes through the confluences of the Rivière Dobleau and Rivière Nestaocano, offering paddlers a multi-day backcountry adventure through pristine boreal forest. With no established facilities and challenging access via logging roads, this route requires advanced wilderness skills and complete self-sufficiency. The reward is experiencing one of Quebec's untouched northern waterways with excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing and complete solitude during the brief summer paddling season.
The difficulty of Du Chef River varies by section.
The best time is July-August.
Du Chef River is located in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of Canada.
