The Ulverton section of the Saint-François River offers a peaceful 10km paddle through unspoiled wilderness between Richmond and Ulverton. This route features Class I rapids with one Class III rapid near the start, flowing through a verdant valley virtually untouched by development. The shallow, rocky riverbed creates an intimate paddling experience with abundant wildlife including Canada geese, ducks, and various shorebirds, plus numerous islands perfect for swimming breaks.
The document describes 4. The map shows 4, 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.
