The upper Kedgwick River offers us some beautiful sections of rough river, including the Rapid Depot (Class R2). You can even make a stop to jump off the bridge if there are no fishermen in sight.

Several camp opportunities are available to you before continuing your journey on the Restigouche River. Your guide will cook you good meals over the fire, as the pioneers of the region did; a fire, which at each camp will provide comfort, warmth and light near a stream. The expedition then continues on the Restigouche River, where the landscape opens on an exceptional valley where trees, lakes, and especially the rivers which abound in salmon, made the fame of the region.
