About

The George River System Overview encompasses one of Quebec's most legendary wilderness waterways, flowing 600 kilometers from Lake Jannière to Ungava Bay. This comprehensive system offers everything from technical whitewater and massive rapids to stunning tundra landscapes and world-class brook trout fishing. The river provides relatively accessible entry to the far north compared to other Ungava rivers, but demands serious whitewater skills and expedition experience. Best paddled July through early September, the George features challenging rapids, tidal effects near the mouth, and the chance to witness the recovering caribou herd. Access is typically via Schefferville by train then float plane, or through various tributary approaches.
