The Doubs is a 453 km long river in eastern France and western Switzerland, left tributary of the Saône. Its source is near Mouthe in the western Jura mountains.

First it flows northeast, more or less along the French-Swiss border (forming the border for approx. 40 km). Near Montbéliard it turns southwest, until it flows into the river Saône in Verdun-sur-le-Doubs, approx. 20 km northeast of Chalon-sur-Saône. Its entire course resembles an inverted letter U, with the northeastern corner the only point at which the Doubs flows into Switzerland as far as Saint-Ursanne.The Doubs flows through the following Departments of France, Cantons of Switzerland, and cities:

* Doubs (F): Pontarlier

* Neuchâtel (CH)

* Jura (CH): Saint-Ursanne

* Doubs (F): Montbéliard, Besançon

* Jura (F): Dole

* Saône-et-Loire (F): Verdun-sur-le-Doubs

Tributaries include:

* Loue

* Dessoubre

The river forms several lakes:

*Lac des Brenets (elevation 750 m)

*Lac de Moron (elevation 716 m)

*Lac de Biaufond (elevation 610 m)

Le Doubs river, located in NW Switzerland, creates a natural border between Switzerland and France. Portions of the river are dammed up creating meandering lakes, waterfalls and rapids with much of the river protected from development. I entered at Les Brenets (Swiss side). I would have preferred entering at Lac des Brenets/Lac de Moron located a few km north above the water falls but the shoreline appears to be completely inaccessible, even by the hiking paths running along the ridge of the steep walls on either side of the river. I will continue to look for a way to hike in with my kayak since I'm using a folding Folbot "Cooper" kayak which can be collapsed into a bag with shoulder straps. More details on the trip go to our blog: swisskayak.blogspot.com ------------ Production Notes: Equipment: A Nikon D7000 DSLR was used for the stills and video (1080p). All still images were shot in camera RAW, converted to .DNG and edited in Adobe Camera Raw. Kayak assembly sequence photos were done using the built-in intervelometer at :20sec. intervals. Nikon 18-200mm VRI lens. Audio: SmartSound.com stock music edited in SonicFire Pro. Audio from the DSLR video was removed. The kayak paddling sound was recorded separately with an iPod Touch 4G using Blue's "Fire" recording app. The iPod was tucked halfway in my float vest pocket. Software: 15" Macbook Pro Video was created using Apple Aperture. Normally I would use FCP or Adobe Premiere but Aperture is great for quickly combining <b>...</b>
