Canoeing the Bonaventure River


During June 2009 Ian, Adam, Kulli and Peter canoed down the Bonaventure River. Located on Quebec's Gaspe Peninsula, the Bonaventure is known for its exceptionally clear water and as an Atlantic Salmon habitat. We started high in the Chic Choc Mountains - after a four hour transfer (with an outfitters off road-converted school bus) from the coastal town of Bonaventure. We canoed about 110 km over four days -arriving back at our vehicle at the outfitting camp in Bonaventure.
Most of the rapids were R-1 and R-2's. We may have encountered two R-3's. One for sure!
Overall this was a good trip. Generally relaxed with a few moderately challenging moments. No biting insects! See photos here.
