Bullard Creek (ruisseau) in the Capitale-Nationale region offers intermediate whitewater paddling with 14 rapids and 2 portages through forested terrain. This technical stream provides Class I-III rapids without designated campsites, making it suitable for day trips. The route features typical Canadian Shield scenery with granite outcrops and dense boreal forest. Best paddled during higher water levels in late spring to early summer. Access requires local knowledge and scouting, as detailed information is limited.
The document describes 14. 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.
