The Yamaska River system offers spring whitewater paddling opportunities with Class I-III rapids across multiple sections. Best accessed at Parc National de la Yamaska's Réservoir Choinière for calm water recreation, this system provides diverse paddling experiences from gentle family outings to more challenging spring runs. The river flows through agricultural landscapes with good wildlife viewing opportunities including 19 fish species and waterfowl.
The document describes 1. The map shows 2, because it only places rapids a national survey publishes a coordinate for. The two counts measure different things.
| Rapid | Class | Portage | Surveyor's note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rapide Plat |
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.
