Description

Discover Rouge River kayaking and the soft sandy beaches of the Rouge River. We offer multiple non-guided kayak, paddleboard and canoeing trips in Mont Tremblant. There are several great swimming spots (most beaches are public land), and you can bring your lunch and have a picnic on the shore of the river. The Rouge river is CALM and most parts are very shallow. Our 12 km (half day) section of river is in a rural setting, so expect to see some farms and cottages.

Includes a canoe, kayak, or paddleboard (SUP) rental and up river transport. Our staff will provide you with the equipment, help you launch and give you some basic instructions.

Our non-guided Rouge River kayak, paddleboard and canoe activities in Mont Tremblant are suitable for beginners. Kayaks are easier to control and more stable than canoes. Paddleboards are more difficult and require good balance.

Helpful hint! If you choose to canoe, it’s important to understand that canoes are designed for 2 people and have only 2 seats. It is possible to put 3 if one is a child who will sit on the floor, but we do not recommend putting 4 in a canoe. Children under 10 years old probably won’t want to paddle the whole time, so they should go in a canoe with an adult or ride in a kayak that could be towed. The best configuration puts at least 1 adult per canoe, no more than 2 adults or 2 adults + 2 small children in a canoe (1 adult with 3 children won’t work in 1 canoe). Extra participants can take a kayak or paddleboard.

12 km – You will leave your car at the starting point of our rental centre. A shuttle will take you to the water and you will descend the river back to your car.

If you have your own canoe/kayak/paddleboard, we also offer the option to have the transport service only (price per boat).

There are several canoeing/kayaking activities offered in the area, see our comparison table.

Know before you book :

  • Canoe: Maximum 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children (12 years and under) per canoe. Minimum 20lbs / 10 kg (for life jackets).
  • Kayak double: Children 12 years and and under must be accompanied by a person 16 years or over. Minimum 20lbs / 10 kg (for life jackets).
  • Paddleboard: Minimum 13 years old. Maximum 250 lbs / 113 kg.
  • Youth of 15 years old and under must be accompanied by an adult 18 years+.
  • Canteen on site – Light meals and snacks available ($).
  • Waterproof bag available for rental on site ($).
  • Calm dogs on a leash are allowed.
  • We recommend to take a morning departure so you can enjoy a full day experience with a picnic on the beach.

Know before you go:

  • Please dress appropriately for your decent on the Rouge River. See our What to wear section.
  • Be back to reception no later than 7 p.m.
  • We recommend that you bring snacks, water and sunscreen.

  • Our activity is suitable for beginners, but please note that kayaks are easier to control and more stable than canoes.
  • Canoes have 2 seats. The 3rd person or children will have to sit on the (often wet) floor of the canoe.

Kayak riviere rouge - Rouge River Kayak

FAQ

FAQ – Canoe – Kayak – Paddleboard – Rivière Rouge

When Should I reserve?

A day in advance is sufficient. Even the day of the activity we often have availability.

Is the river calm?

Yes. There are no rapids on the river.

Can I do this self-guided activity if it is my first time canoeing ?

We don’t recommend canoeing if you have not paddled a canoe before. Canoes require a bit of technique to maneouvre. Rent kayaks instead.

What is the difference between this and the Diable River self trip in the National Park?

  •  The river is wider with more sun.
  •  This is not a wilderness setting, so less chances to see wildlife. You will pass chalets and farms.
  •  The Rouge River has more beaches.
  •  The Rouge River has fewer bugs
  •  The Rouge River is closer from Tremblant resort.

There are several canot/ kayak / paddleboard activities offered in the area, see our comparison table.

Famille | Canot/Kayak/Paddleboard - Rivière Rouge La personne à l'accueil était gentille, mais en nous faisant signer les papiers on nous disait de cocher et signer si on avait gu le vidéo. La personne nous dit de signer et qu'on le verrait quand tout le monde aurait signé les papiers: ça n'a jamais été fait. Nous n'avons eut aucune indications outre "d'embarquer" dans le kayak. Je pense que le personnel sur place aurait pu mieux communiquer comment manipuler l'équipement et aussi nous monterr le fameux vidéo...si c'était un vidéo sur la sécurité nautique, c'est raté.

Group d'amis ! Canoe/Kayak/Paddleboard - Rivière Rouge Il aurait été utile de souligner un peu plus clairement la fin du parcours. Nous nous sommes tellement laissé emporter que nous avons failli rater la ligne d'arrivée ! C'était très bien, nous reviendrons avec un groupe d'amis encore plus nombreux !
