About

George River access from Astray represents an alternative northern entry point to the legendary George River system in Nord-du-Québec. This remote access requires careful planning and typically involves float plane transport to the headwater region. The route leads to the main George River system, offering paddlers access to one of Quebec's most powerful northern rivers with heavy whitewater sections, stunning tundra landscapes, and world-class fishing. Best paddled in July-August when water levels are suitable but still challenging, this access point is for experienced whitewater paddlers only due to the river's notorious difficulty and remote location.
