About

This appears to be a duplicate listing of the renowned Circuit des Mistassins, the 83-90km expedition route that serves as Quebec's premier wilderness canoe-camping experience. The route showcases the best of northern Quebec's boreal landscape with pristine waters, excellent sandy beach camping, and the spectacular Chute Blanche waterfall. Designed for 3-5 day expeditions, it offers over 100km of mostly calm water paddling through dense boreal forests with abundant wildlife viewing and fishing opportunities. As the flagship route in La Route Bleue network, it provides a complete wilderness immersion while remaining accessible to paddlers with intermediate skills, best experienced during the June to September season when weather and water conditions are optimal.
