The Dumoine River
(Voir cette page en français)The Dumoine River drains a remarkable wild watershed in southwestern Quebec. Its headwaters lie in the boreal forest landscape of La Vérendrye wildlife reserve and it ultimately flows into the Ottawa River about 200 kilometres upstream from Ottawa/Gatineau.
The Dumoine is...
- The last undammed wild river in southern Quebec.
- The largest area of unfragmented southern boreal forest in Quebec.
- A renowned wilderness paddling destination.
- A continentally significant wildlife corridor, protecting a critical link from La Vérendrye wildlife reserve in the north to Algonquin Park, which in turn links to the Algonquin to Adirondacks (A2A) corridor to the Appalachian mountains to the south.
