ABOUT THIS REGION  CANOEING - RIVER TRIPS

Canoeing trip on the Dumoine River

Welcome to our canoe trip on the Dumoine River. On the 5 day adventure canoe trip you will spend a relaxing 5 days (4 nights) on the stunningly beautiful Dumoine River. This is not only an ideal river canoe trip to improving your whitewater skills, it is also considered one of the prettiest rivers in Central Canada. Located within easy driving distance of Toronto, Ottawa or Montreal the river drops over 500 feet in swifts, chutes and numerous enjoyable and runnable rapids. The river is flanked by majestic white pine forests that shelter five star campsites. Combine all this with perfect whitewater for teaching and you have a canoeist's paradise. This easy adventure canoe trip is geared for the intermediate and less experienced paddler. While whitewater experience is helpful it is not necessary, a strong flatwater background will put you in good stead. You'll spend lots of time learning on the river's numerous Class I and II rapids. Some nights you will camp beside spectacular falls or rapids. This is one of the finest wild rivers in central Canada and our river trip is sure to provide paddling enjoyment for canoeists of all skill levels.

Canoeing trip on the Dumoine River

The 3 day weekend getaway canoe trip is the perfect escape. You will get the chance to either beef up your whitewater paddling skills or, if you are a beginner learn how to whitewater canoe. In addition you get to experience one of the most beautiful wilderness rivers in Central Canada, the Dumoine. There are a number of fun enjoyable rapids on the section of the river we run which are not only great fun to paddle, but are also wonderful for learning and practicing canoeing techniques. The Dumoine is not only an ideal river for improving your whitewater skills, it is also considered one of the prettiest rivers of the Ottawa Valley. This trip on the lower river is geared for people new to whitewater or those at an intermediate level who wish to improve their skills. We have a relaxed pace so will spend time teaching in the river's Class I, and II rapids.
