The map draws the full river. This route covers a section of it; the description says which.
The Noire near Roxton Falls presents a challenging whitewater experience with rapids ranging from R1 to R4-5, including class III sections up to 5.5-6 difficulty. This technical river features 13 rapid sections with minimal portages, demanding strong paddling skills and whitewater experience. The route flows through mixed forest and agricultural landscapes, offering excellent skill-building opportunities for intermediate to advanced paddlers. Limited camping and access require careful trip planning.
The document describes 13. The map shows 31, 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.
