About

Du Sud - Canyon du Long Sault offers expert-level whitewater through a dramatic canyon setting with 18 rapids from R1 to R3-4 and 3 portages. This intermediate to expert run showcases the raw power of Appalachian waters carving through ancient rock formations. The canyon environment creates unique hydraulics and scenery, but requires advanced skills and safety awareness. Limited camping (1 site) suggests this is primarily a challenging day run best attempted in late spring.
