Kayaking on Restigouche River - from Saint-Alexis-de-Matapédia to Matapédia QC

Rating: Three-and-a-Half Stars - The Restigouche River is famous for its salmon and the fly-fishers that chase them. The Restigouche forms as the boundary between the Canadian provinces Quebec (left bank) and New Brunswick (right bank). Since these 2 provinces are in 2 different time zones, if it is 1pm on the left bank (Quebec in Eastern Time Zone), it must be 2pm on the right bank (New Brunswick in Atlantic Time Zone).
