Spring day trip down the Lower Madawaska River from Aumond Bay to Buck Bay. This is a beautiful section of the river, with mostly Cl II rapids, suitable for novice-intermediate paddlers. Water will be high and cold; Wet/Drysuit a must. Should take about 4-5 hours Put In: From Quadeville, travel South on Hyland Creek Rd. approx. 15km on gravel and look for the Aumond Bay sign on a minor road on the right. The road has a civic address of 4001 Hyland Creek Rd. Continue 1 km to a small parking area. Take Out: Travel South on Hyland Creek Rd. for 13km to the Buck Bay sign. The civic address is 2859 Hyland Creek Rd. Continue 1km to a parking area. Walk around the gate and 400m down to the water so you can identify the take out from river level.
