About

The Papineau-Labelle Wildlife Reserve offers exceptional canoe-camping experiences across over 700 lakes and rivers, including lake-to-lake circuits and whitewater descents of the Rivière du Sourd. As Quebec's most southern wildlife reserve, it provides easy access from Montreal and Gatineau while maintaining pristine wilderness character. The reserve features established campsites, equipment rental, and excellent fishing for speckled and lake trout. Multiple entry points and registration centres provide good infrastructure, while the diverse terrain supports abundant wildlife viewing including moose, white-tailed deer, and numerous bird species.

Highlights

The rapids this document describes

The document describes 1. 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.
