About

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.
