In Wallonia, kayaking is only allowed on the watercourses designated by the Region, and only between a minimum and a maximum flow. A “normal” reading is therefore not enough: always check the official status shown on the card, then the paddling rules. The Meuse and the Bocq are followed for information only: their card explains why.
