The Samaqua River is a tributary of the Mistassini River system in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region, flowing through remote boreal forest terrain. With several access points leading to Girardville, this lesser-known route offers wilderness paddling through typical Canadian Shield landscape of lakes, portages, and forest-lined waterways. The river provides a more secluded alternative to the popular Mistassini system. Limited information suggests it's suitable for experienced paddlers seeking solitude.
The difficulty of Samaqua River varies by section.
The best time is July-August.
Samaqua River is located in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of Canada.
