The Godbout River flows 112 km from Lake Amariton through spectacular boreal forest landscapes with numerous rapids and seven impressive waterfalls before emptying into the St. Lawrence near the village of Godbout. While primarily known as one of Quebec's premier salmon fishing rivers, this remote Côte-Nord waterway offers challenging paddling through rocky escarpments and wild terrain. Access requires careful planning through the village of Godbout, and the river features difficult navigation with steep rapids and waterfalls requiring extensive portaging. Best paddled during summer months when water levels are manageable, though specific paddling information is extremely limited.
The difficulty of Godbout River varies by section.
The best time is June-August.
Godbout River is located in the Côte-Nord region of Canada.
