About

The Noire River is a less-travelled 237+ km whitewater river in Quebec, offering the longest distance of runnable whitewater and shortest portaging among the 'Three Sisters.' With mostly Class I-II rapids ideal for skill development, sandy campsites on nearly every bend, and exceptional wilderness solitude, paddlers encounter moose, bears, and mink with minimal human activity. Trips of 5-6 days cover 50-75 km through pristine Canadian Shield. Best paddled May-October; requires basic whitewater skills and shuttle access via Black River Inn or logging roads.
