About Plein Air Québec
Quebec, by paddle
Plein Air Québec is a digital platform dedicated to paddle sports in Quebec — kayak, canoe and paddleboard (SUP). It was designed to become a central reference point for paddlers, families, outdoor enthusiasts and anyone who wants to discover, plan and share the finest paddling outings in the province.
PleinAirQuébec.com brings together in one place the best water bodies — lakes, rivers and bays —, the put-ins, the routes, the gear and the specialized shops, in an approach that is at once practical, informative and community-driven.
🎯Our mission
The mission of PleinAirQuébec.com is simple but ambitious: make information about paddling in Quebec easier to access and encourage a practice that is more accessible, better planned and more inspiring.
📖A project rooted in passion
PleinAirQuébec.com was born from a clear observation: despite the scale and exceptional quality of Quebec’s water bodies, information for paddlers is often scattered, hard to compare or difficult to use in a structured way.
The project was therefore conceived as a modern, scalable and data-driven platform, able to:
- •Bring together thousands of water bodies, put-ins and routes
- •Adapt to new technologies (mapping, GPS, mobile)
- •Grow alongside the community of paddlers
