Saguenay and the Minganie come to mind.  Great sea kayak
destinations.  Boreal Designs makes kayaks near Quebec City.
There's other smaller manufacturers too.

Don't forget that the St. Lawrence river is a BIG river - not yer little
crick!  I used to sail on it and have seen serious waves and weather.
Big ships still use it to get to the Great Lakes.  Really!

Remember - big river.  Us fresh water paddlers object to the notion
that you need salt water to sea kayak.  Oh yeah - there's salt water
downriver too!

You wouldn't want to eat what they catch in the river anymore.  The
gunk from the Great Lakes...
