Recollet falls on the French is at a nice level right now. There is a nice little hole above the main falls that is deep enough to cartwheel. Loops still hit bottom. There is time to roll up and catch the eddy, and the falls there are easy to run.
The falls itself is really fun to lap with many lines and a few boofs to try. The right channel has a fun little rooster tail to boof in its left channel and its right channel has an really fun boof into green water. The hole there dishes out some good beatdowns if you screw up. There is also a boily eddy catch halfway down which is lots of fun.
Overall, a great creek training ground which now has a decent playhole. Just park at the visitor's centre and get down to the water downstream of the ski-doo bridge. Very short paddle from there to the falls.
