The Restigouche River, a Canadian Heritage River and legendary Atlantic salmon destination, is a canoeist's paradise offering 340+ km of navigable waters through pristine Appalachian wilderness without major portages. This Class I gentlemen's river winds through remote valleys with notable salmon pools and clear, cold currents, home to moose, bald eagles, lynx, and historic fishing camps dating to the 1880s. Best paddled in autumn after fishing season ends (October-November) when wildlife is active, bugs minimal, and fall colors peak; established outfitter Arpin Canoe Restigouche provides excellent all-inclusive and guided packages with exceptional food and service.
Restigouche River is estimated at Intermediate. Whitewater ratings are not exact: grades change with water level and season. Verify current conditions locally before you paddle.
The best time is September-November.
Restigouche River is located in the New Brunswick region of Canada.
