The Richelieu River is well known: it serves as a backyard for many Quebecers... or even as a highway. Its bustle in spring and the pleasures it offers in summer are what make it so famous. As a gathering place, it can quickly become noisy. The Richelieu River is rarely discreet: without being eccentric, it's a flashy, exuberant river in spite of itself!
The Kipawa River stretches through the coniferous forests and untamed open spaces of the Témiscamingue region. Far from the major centers, the Kipawa must be earned: it's a 7-hour drive from Montreal and a 10-hour drive from Quebec City! Untouched, untamed beauty unfolds before the eyes of anyone who dares to venture there.
Sometimes witness to a historic battle, sometimes battered by the effects of agriculture, the Châteauguay River has seen it all! This tough cookie also has a flirtatious side: its charms are revived as water quality improves. The Châteauguay is on the rise again.
