Kayaking down the Rouge River in the Laurentians from La Conception

Canoeing and kayaking on the Rouge River is an incredible way to relax and enjoy nature in the Laurentians. It's an experience not to be missed near Mont-Tremblant. The Rouge River is 161 km long, rising at Lac de la Fougère and flowing through the Laurentians to join the Ottawa River between Ottawa and Montreal. Your canoe-kayak trip on the Rouge River will cover 12 km at La Conception, and will last half a day at your own pace!

This self-guided canoe-kayak trip down the Rivière Rouge generally takes between 2? and 4 hours, depending on how many breaks you take. You can hire either a canoe, a 2-seater boat into which a third person can squeeze by sitting on the ground, or a single-seater or double-seater kayak, which is more stable than a canoe.

Surrounded by a delightful rural setting, with small farms and typical Quebec cottages, the Rivière Rouge offers a wonderful canoe-kayak trip in the Laurentians. A kayak or canoe trip in the Laurentians is an experience not to be missed, whether on your own, with family or friends!
