Living near Ontario it is easy to get information on canoe routes and rivers.
However, I am having a tough time of finding any information on canoeing,
particularly rivers, in Qu�bec.

I am looking for trip ...
o 4-10 days
o Rivers, class II or so
o as wilderness as possible - not alumimum highways.
o not afraid to portage

Thanks ... Don

	Bonjour Don,

		A nice cano� place is "Le parc de la V�rendry", the
	starting point is "Le domaine". You can spent 2-3 days or 2-3 weeks
	depend on you wish. 

	"Le parc de la V�rendry" is a Provincial Park so the fee are good. 

	Telephone for reservation or information is 1-800-462-5349

	(This number is the same for all provincial parks)

						Andr�



	You can reserve cano� directly on the site.

    Thanks for the park info.  However, I'll have to get a U.S.A.
    800-number.  The number you listed does not seem to work from Michigan.
