Kitesurf spot at Varennes, on the St. Lawrence River east of Montreal. The river widens in this area before forming Lac Saint-Pierre downstream. The spot offers a freshwater area with moderate fetch. Varennes is easily accessible from Montreal (30 min) and offers an interesting alternative to Lac Saint-Louis spots to the west. The south shore of the river is relatively shallow in this area.
St. Lawrence River, upstream section (freshwater). No significant tide at this point. Constant river current. Freshwater reaching 20-24°C in summer. Moderate chop in sustained wind. Sandy to muddy bottom. Shared navigation with recreational and commercial shipping on the channel.
