Rouge, QC

2) le Rapide des Italiens (The Italians)

Class III

0.8 Miles

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.

Le Centre d’expertise hydrique du Québec Gage

The Suivi Hydro Gage (ID 040204) is located in Grenville-sur-la-Rouge, approximately 25 miles downstream of this section. As such, gage levels will reflect the river condition on this section as it was half-a-day earlier, so use gage readings as a general guideline only.

Gage levels are reported in Meters Per Second; multiply by 35.3 to convert to CFS.
