Le Lièvre River


 

On this river canoe-camping expedition, you will certainly meet black bears, beavers as well as cervidae, living in our forests. Certainly, because we’ll meet on our journey a hunting guide that will lead us, for a couple of hours, to hiding places and dam only known to him.
 
Following an ample valley punctuated with meanders, this river commonly called the Lièvre is about to be recognized as an integral part of the Canadian heritage due to its historical role.
The abundance of the snowshoe hare in this valley explains its name, also designated by Algonquians as Wabos Sibi. Your guide will tell you the rest…
