Canoeing at Lac Echo Campground, Papineu-Labelle Wildlife Reserve, Quebec

Lac de l'Ecluse and Lac Echo connected by the shallow passage. If you want to put in at the Lac Echo Campground, you have three choices:


1. Launch from your ready-to-camp waterfront site, like the campsite B6.


2. These canoes are placed right on the public beach. Assuming you can put in right there.


3. Motor boat launch. You can find it at the end of road leading to the C group of campsites. Or, by GPS coordinates:

45°56'14.6"N 75°27'18.4"W
45.937393, -75.455104


After you put in at one of those points, the only way to go would be straight South. In about 8 km you will reach the shallow passage connecting Lac de l'Ecluse with Lac Echo.
