ABOUT THIS REGION  WHITEWATER RAFTING

Whitewater rafting thrills on the Ottawa River

The Ottawa River is known as one of the best whitewater rafting rivers in Canada. Enjoy a half or full day rafting adventure on the Ottawa River. This river offers forgiving flat sections and swifts for beginners as well as powerful rapids to thrill and challenge experienced paddlers and you have the choice of experiencing this river in 6 or 12 person raft. The larger traditional boats seat 12 guests and are designed for the beginner to intermediate rafter. These boats are ideal for first time rafters and families with teenagers. For high adventure, ride the Sotars which seat 6 guests. These boats are not for the faint-of-heart. They are lightweight and manouver easily through the rapids. Prepare to get wet! After the rafting, enjoy a hot shower or sauna back at the resort. For the non-rafter, explore the over 7 km of hiking trails on site, swim at the private beach or enjoy a game of volleyball.

Whitewater rafting thrills on the Ottawa River

A full day rafting trip begins 12 km upstream from the resort. After rafting the first half of the rapids, guests enjoy a fresh, healthy feast served at the river's edge. The adventure ends at a private beach located just below the last set of rapids. The half day family trip is ideal for children over 50 pounds and at least 7 years of age. It is also a wonderful experience for seniors and first time rafting guests who want a gentle thrill. Everyone gets a paddle and everyone participates! This package is not too long and not too wet.
