The river drains several beautiful lakes enclosed in mountains with a height that varies from 100 to 300 feet.

In 2014 a program funded by Hydro-Québec as part of the development of the Romaine River hydroelectric project built a path by which the salmon could pass this obstacle.

This gave the fish access to an additional 60 kilometres (37 mi) of the river, and reduced the time they spent at the foot of the falls, where they were at risk of poaching.

In view of the rapidly declining Atlantic salmon population catch-and-release should have been implemented on all rivers apart from northern Quebec.
