Rivière du Chef flows from Lac Laganière to its confluence with the Ashuapmushuan River, offering class II-III whitewater through pristine boreal forest. This remote tributary provides a wilderness canoe experience with good current and moderate rapids, passing through undeveloped Canadian Shield terrain. Limited documented information suggests it's accessible from forest roads but requires careful route planning. The river is best suited for experienced paddlers seeking solitude away from popular routes. Season runs June through September when water levels permit safe navigation.
The difficulty of Du Chef et Ashuapmushuan River varies by section.
The best time is June-September.
Du Chef et Ashuapmushuan River is located in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of Canada.
