Following County road 9 North of St.Isidore, you will come to an easy access point to the River- the Séguin Bridge. Launch your canoe from the downstream side of the bridge.
Paddlers who choose to access at the Séguin Bridge should be aware that there is no other public access point to the River until the Village of Plantagenet. Caution should be exercised approaching the railway bridge in Plantagenet Station as there is a small weir immediately downstream, which must be portaged. Exiting the River at this point can be challenging, as the riverbanks are quite steep. The stretch of the river between Plantagenet Station and the Village of Plantagenet is passable in the spring and early summer but the rock outcropping known as the “Pitch Off ” may slow paddlers down in the summer. A quick survey of the natural features of the River from the pitch off road should help you here. In the Village of Plantagenet, access can be gained at the Plantagenet Village Park, just off Plantagenet Road in Plantagenet. Parking is available at this point.
