On the stretch of river between Maniwaki and Bouchette the Gatineau runs wild with big Ottawa-style rapids. The Gatineau is another Quebec river that is under threat of extinction through hydro development. Your participation in a rafting trip will help "Les Amis de la Rivière Gatineau" raise awareness for the river and demonstrate alternative uses.
