From its headwaters to the confluence of Ottawa River the Noire River flows 238 km. On our trip, we spend the first night in a local BnB and hit the river on the morning of Day 2, we will paddle 63 kms, on the section of river where there are minimal portages and maximum fun in class 1 and 2 rapids. Compared to its sister rivers, the Dumoine and the Coulonge, the Noire has a nice progression of whitewater allowing clients to build paddling skills and the lowest distances of portages, making it the most ideal river for paddlers of any skill or fitness level to feel empowered to move their own canoe down the river. With huge sandy beach campsites on every bend of this meandering river, we have endless options of where to set up camp for the night. Short days and sandy beaches allow for easy camping and time to swim, read, play in the rapids and simply enjoy time in the wilderness.
