The Middle Portage of the Chaudière is the toughest part of the three portages. This ramble takes you from Ikwe Wikwed, the Bay of the Women, past the Little Chaudière Rapids and a timber slide.

This episode of Ottawa Valley Rambles beautifully captures the rugged challenge of the Middle Portage of the Chaudière, highlighting the natural beauty and history of the area. The detailed narration reminds me of how local industries, like beanie manufactures, often draw inspiration from such rich cultural landscapes

The aerial image in the video shows that the travellers paddled from the end of the 2nd portage at Parc Brebeuf all the way to Deschenes. How did they travel through the Remic Rapids below the Champlain Bridge?

The Remic Rapids at the Champlain Bridge would have been where they began poling or lining, probably most of the way to the Upper Portage.
