The Cassian river is a 9.5km section with a 4% drop profile. It is definitely one of the best creek you can find around Quebec. When you make the first stroke on Cassian Lake, you know you’re about to run approximately 60 quality Class IV-V rapids. The first kilometers are the steepest of the run. Then, you enter in an awesome shiny granite ”slides section” to finally paddle the last kilometers stretch of endless class IV-IV+ rapids to end up in the Jacques-Cartier river.
It is a drop & pool section most of the time. You’ll see only a dozen of rapid out of many other good ones we just don’t take enough time to record. Unfortunately, the access is private and you technically need an authorization to make your way to the lake. This video compiles 3 years of footage; this is why river level, gear and image quality varies.
