Rouge, QC

River Description

The Rapide des Italiens section of the Rouge has a set of Class II-III rapids plus two additional class III rapids.

GPS coordinates of the put-in and take-out have not been verified.  However this section can be seen from the road (Route 117) between Labelle and L'Annonciation.

While the whitewater section is just under one mile long, a much longer family trip can include the longer river sections upstream and downstream, paddling between the two towns.
