Overview

Esprit's basecamp in Davidson, Quebec is ideally located to assist canoeist in accessing the Coulonge, Noire and Dumoine Rivers. Based on the banks of the Ottawa River, Esprit offers both camping and hostel accomodation with spacious decks for gear packing, a full service restaurant and bar as well as internet access to keep in touch with family/friends both on departure and upon return. Need extra equipment? Esprit has a wide selection of whitewater tripping canoes, lifejackets, helmets, paddles, water tight barrels and throwbags available for rent. In need of a shuttle? Contact our office team to arrange a custom shuttle. We can provide both a driver service (transporting your vehicle from your put in to the take out) as well as a full service shuttle using our Esprit vehicles and trailers.

Shuttles are based on 1-6 people in a suburban with a trailer. For a larger vehicle and larger group size please contact dennis@whitewater.ca for a price quote. Below we have listed some recommended "put-in" points. Other destinations are available.

A word of warning. The back roads of the Coulonge and the Noire are very rough and isolated with very little signage. We caution anyone running their own shuttle to be prepared for a long bumpy ride with the possibility of vehicle breakdown.
