In the Aboriginal language, Mistassibi means "Great River"
The Mistassibi river source comes from north of Lac St. Jean in the region of Lac Carole above the 50th parallel. The wild water flows in a southerly direction and empties into Lac Saint-Jean. On this trip, we cover the 80 km stretch downstream from Lac Daniel to the Brûle-Neige River. From Lac Daniel to the beautiful Lac au Foin, with the exception of two falls, the river meanders lazily through the mountainous landscape - an excellent place to observe animals. After Lac au Foin, which is worth the trip itself, the river follows a section of rapids over 48 km long. It then widens, as tributaries enter the main river from both sides. Throughout the sometimes very steep valley, you will see breathtaking scenery. The fact that there are not a lot of people paddling the river, combined with the magnificent scenery, earns it the title, “Wild River of the middle of northern Quebec”. It has been given a 4-star rating by The Quebec federation of Canoe/Camping.

Trip advantages:
-Wild river with little human contact
-Boreal and taïga vegetation
- Lac au Foin (Straw lake)
-Sandy beaches and picturesque campsites
- Introduction to fishing (pike, trout and more)
