Let’s make something clear, Those waterfalls are the cleanest with the easiest access you will ever find in Quebec. When we did the first descent of the first drop, we were wondering how it was possible that nobody ran that before.We were on a shoot for a TV show and didn’t have the time to go check the lower drop. It was not super long after that a crew from Gaspesie went there and ran the top one and first D the second one (SICK).

There’s a trail all along the river on the right so you can go look at the waterfalls before gearing up.

After the drops, there’s a nice class IV with big waves until you reach the 138 bridge where you will take out.
