Important Information
When should I reserve?

A day in advance is sufficient. Even the day of the activity we often have availability.

Is the river clam?

Yes. There are no rapids on the river.

Can I do this self-guided activity if it is my first time canoeing?

We don’t recommend canoeing if you have not paddled a canoe before. Canoes require a bit of technique to maneouvre. Rent kayaks instead.

What is the difference between this and the Diable River self trip in the national park?

  • The river is wider with more sun.
  • This is not a wilderness setting, so less chances to see wildlife. You will pass chalets and farms.
  • The Rouge River has more beaches.
  • The Rouge River has fewer bugs.
  • The Rouge River is closer from Tremblant resort.
  • There are several canot/ kayak / paddleboard activities offered in the area, see our comparison table.

    MORE INFORMATION

    You have your own canoe, kayak or paddleboard? No problem! We also offer the option to have the transport service only (price per boat).

    Discover the Rouge River and the soft sandy beaches of the Rouge River. There are several great swimming spots (most beaches are public land), and you can bring your lunch and have a picnic on the shore of the river. The Rouge river is CALM and most parts are very shallow. Our 12 km (half day) section of river is in a rural setting, so expect to see some farms and cottages.

    You will leave your car at the starting point of our rental centre. A shuttle will take you to the water and you will descend the river back to your car!
