The map draws the full river. This route covers a section of it; the description says which.
Rivière Du Moulin (affluent Chaudière) offers a short but technical whitewater experience with 6 rapids ranging from R1 to RII-III and one portage. Located in an urban park setting, this tributary provides easily accessible paddling near civilization. The single portage and moderate length make it suitable for day trips, though the RII-III sections require solid intermediate skills. Best paddled during spring runoff when water levels support the technical moves.
This route's document cites a hydrometric station. The links below open the operating agency's current reading.
The gauge is on Famine, Rivière, not the river you are paddling. The document cites it anyway: "station de mesure de débit de la rivière Famine, opérée par le Centre d'Expertise Hydrique du Québec (CEHQ), porte le numéro 023422"
The document describes 6. 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.
