The Bras-du-Nord River offers a perfect family-friendly canoe experience through the Vallée Bras-du-Nord's spectacular canyon landscapes. This 17-kilometer route features just two Class I rapids and meandering sections through rugged mountains, with access to the stunning 150-meter Delaney Falls via a short hiking trail. The river flows past sandy beaches and through pristine wilderness, taking 4-6 hours to complete with shuttle service and equipment rentals available. The dramatic scenery combined with gentle rapids makes this an ideal introduction to Quebec's wilderness paddling from May through October.
The document describes 8. The map shows 11, 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.
