Rivière Du Cinq flows through the Chaudière-Appalaches region offering intermediate to advanced whitewater with 12 rapids ranging from R-1 to R-3. The technical nature with varied difficulty suggests pool-drop character through forested Appalachian terrain. Limited access and documentation make this a less traveled route best suited for experienced paddlers seeking adventure. Spring to early summer provides optimal water levels, though specific access points remain unclear.
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.
