Palmer Est (East Palmer River) flows through the municipalities of Chaudière-Appalaches as a tributary to the main Palmer River. With 6 rapids ranging from R1-R3 and no portages required, this intermediate waterway offers accessible whitewater paddling through Appalachian terrain. The river features mixed forest landscapes and rocky sections typical of the region's Canadian Shield-Appalachian transition zone. No established campsites exist along this route, making it suitable for day trips during optimal spring and early summer flows when snowmelt and rainfall maintain adequate water levels.
Palmer Est River is rated Intermédiaire, R1, R1-2, R1-R3, R2, R2-3, R3.
The best time is April-July.
Palmer Est River is located in the Chaudière-Appalaches region of Canada.
