Where
Located on the plateaus of the valley about 68 km west of the municipality of Matapédia by the forest, the Patapédia River is a dream for all lovers of salmon fishing. Powered by Lakes Superior and Hunter, it travels the mountains for 70 km and will jump into the very famous reservoir of the Restigouche River, One Million Dollar Pool recognized for the incredible number of salmon it contains. The Patapedia, whose lower part marks the border between Quebec and New Brunswick, is located in the middle of the forest which offers a tranquility out of the ordinary. With its cold and clear water, this river provides an exceptional habitat to Salmo salar. And what about the trip to get there: landscapes breathtaking!
