A Cime Aventures spokesperson told MTL Blog that parts of the river are closed in 2021 in order to preserve salmon habitats. Visitors are asked to respect signage indicating the locations where swimming is no longer allowed.
The campground also asks swimmers to opt for environmentally friendly sunscreen and insect repellent to avoid contaminating the waters. The use of soap is also not allowed in the river.
