About

The Osgood River flows through scenic Appalachian terrain in the Chaudière-Appalaches region as a tributary of the Palmer River. With 8 rapids ranging from R1-R2 and 6 portages along with 2 campsites, this intermediate-level waterway offers a mix of gentle paddling and beginner whitewater through mixed forest landscapes. The river requires some portaging skills but rewards paddlers with Appalachian mountain views and peaceful wilderness stretches. Access is available near Saint-Jacques-de-Leeds with best conditions during spring runoff when water levels are adequate for navigating the shallow sections.
