I've called the Camping - Chutes des Sept-Soeurs for info. They are closed for the season now but someone will be there to let us through the gate Thursday morning.

If anyone else wants to join us, please feel free to contact me. We are planning to be at the take-out for 8 h30 am. We are planning an early run since we all have to be home by 5 pm. Cheers.

hi

Yes.
If you plug the co-ordianates that Bill provided for the previous Monday adventure, you will arrive at that location or close enough.

You must be talking about the "Halte - Camping - Chutes des Sept-Soeurs" right?

Thanks Larry for the info! I've checked the TAKE-OUT spot provided and it's showing me river right, on the other side of the bridge. Could you tell me where I can park a car please?

hi

The map on Quebec whitewater is not very accurate or detailed, but does provide enough information.

there are 2 takeouts.
The "preferred" takeout is upstream of the hwy 148 bridge and on river left.
If you move the little "google" man a bit east, look north you will see a parking lot.
Someone there will take your money for parking.
Why is it preferred? More friendly than option 2.

The 2nd option is the campground as John mentions.

Past the bridge on the left is the take out camp spot! :) If you bomb down.. Id say an hour. Scouting and portaging the falls... Make that at least 3. :)

Thank you very much sir!!  :)

One last question, how much time does it take to do this section?  We will be scouting the bigger rapids.

Rouge 7 sisters - PUT IN - TAKE OUT ?
« Reply #1 on: September 05, 2013, 05:29:14 PM »
I was wondering if someone could tell me the best place to put-in and take-out for the 7 sisters. I've never done that section...I have heard of a camping being used for take-out as well as Azur Rafting for put-in. Are these the best places? Thanks.
