More than 10 rivers can be paddled, thanks to this amazing wild terrain. A unique snorkelling activity is also offered so you can appreciate the wild Atlantique salmon in its habitat. An experience you don’t want to miss! In addition, we can guide you on the path of the International Appalachian Trail in the Matapedia Valley section with nights in cabins.
