The River Jacques-Cartier
*** The Autumn tree colours in Canada were more muted than in New Hampshire. However the sheer magnitude of the forests still made a wonderful spectacle . The National Park Jacques-Cartier was a great place to explore, the river ran through the middle of the Park. This was the only real cold day we had on the trip the temperature was just above freezing but no matter the sun shone brightly all day
The Jacques-Cartier River drains an area of 971 sq mi, starting in and flowing for nearly 99 miles through the Laurentian mountains in the geological region of Grenville (one of the youngest sections of the Canadian Shield, formed 955 million years ago), then flows through the sedimentary rocks of the St. Lawrence Lowlands to its mouth.
The area covered by the drainage basin is for the most part undeveloped or protected, especially its source. In fact, 77% of its length is protected by the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve and the Jacques-Cartier National Park where one finds a steep glaciated valley formed during the last glaciation.
