About

The Rivière du Nord from Saint-Agathe region offers a 7km excursion in canoe or kayak with the option to return by bicycle on the P'tit Train du Nord trail (4km through forest). This renowned descent from Val-David to Val-Morin zigzags through river meanders for about two hours, offering pleasant gliding experiences whether paddling vigorously or drifting with the current. The river is suitable for indirect-contact water sports (canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding) and winds through the beauty of the Laurentians. Paddlers can stop and swim on sandy banks along the route, making this a perfect family introduction to river paddling.
