Madawaska River

The first rapid of the sections, the river splits around an island and there are cabins on either side. Scout on the island or on the right shore.There are different holes and waves that come in at different levels here. The main set of holes begins to get playable (not too shallow) at around 75cms. Anything above this there should be good play at Hass's. (This rapid is also known as island rapid). The most common line (and the only one with enough water at very low water) is the far river right directly beside Hass's cabin. Note: you can also put-in here or access this point from the west side of the river. You need to pay the property owners to drive into their property. Costs 5$ per person at time of last visit. This road makes this a Park and Play feature.

At very high water (200+ cms) a wave comes in on the corner between Hass's/island and Dog's leg. It is small, but good to play on and practice flat spins.

This is only a rapid at high flows (150+cms). But when it is in, it is IN. A very fun, glassy surf wave forms here and it is a great place to practice.

This rapid is split around several islands. Scouting can happen from the middle island. The typical line is left of the island down the RR side of that channel. A small hole forms at the bottom at a rock. This rock is pointed upstream and has done some damage to boats and people. The channel to the right of the island is known to have metal spikes hammered into the rock, but could be a fun run at high levels.
