The Petite Cascapédia Est offers exciting whitewater action with 32 rapids ranging from easy R1 to challenging R2-3 sections, making it ideal for intermediate to advanced paddlers. This technical river flows through pristine Gaspésian wilderness with crystal-clear waters and stunning mountain scenery. The route features continuous whitewater with fun Class I-II rapids, excellent camping opportunities at 7 designated sites, and only one portage. Best paddled during spring and early summer when water levels are optimal for the more technical sections.
The document describes 32. 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.
