About

The Koroc River flows 100 km westward from the Torngat Mountains to Ungava Bay, offering one of Quebec's most remote and challenging wilderness paddling experiences. This beautiful but rapid and rock-strewn river features dangerous low water sections requiring extensive dragging and lining, plus technical whitewater in a pristine Arctic setting. Access requires chartered float plane to remote lakes, and the route demands expert skills due to shallow rapids, extreme remoteness, and harsh weather conditions including fog and strong winds.
