The map draws the full river. This route covers a section of it; the description says which.
The middle Beaurivage provides intermediate whitewater paddling with 12 rapids ranging from Class I-III, offering a balanced mix of technical sections and recovery pools. The 4 portages allow paddlers to bypass the most challenging drops while still experiencing quality whitewater through scenic forested terrain. This section serves as an excellent progression route for paddlers advancing from beginner to advanced levels. The two established campsites enable multi-day trips to fully explore the river corridor. Spring and early summer provide reliable water levels for optimal paddling conditions.
The document describes 12. The map shows 0, because it only places rapids a national survey publishes a coordinate for. The two counts measure different things.

This table publishes no position for any rapid. Where a surveyor's note mentions a kilometre, those are their words quoted as written, and the figure was read off a scanned map: use it to follow their description, not to navigate. Most of these surveys were written in French.
