The Trip at a Glance
Adventure Provider: Black Feather – the wilderness adventure company |
Flowing eastward across the more remote part of Algonquin Park, the Petawawa River combines Algonquin wilderness and a challenging whitewater experience.
This trip is a fun 50 km, 4 day run from Traverse Lake down to McManus Lake.
The earlier trip will find exciting high water. August paddlers will enjoy a more relaxed river with warm water and lazy summer days.
If you have some whitewater experience, then either choice is a chance for you to enjoy an Algonquin wilderness getaway with a group of like-minded paddlers.
What’s Included
Full guiding and outfitting, canoes and meals.
