Are you ready to earn some bragging rights? This big adventure dares you to guide your own raft down the Ottawa!
Spend the first day with a professional river guide, running the big lines of the Ottawa in a 20-foot Maravia raft. On day two, in smaller 6-person rafts, challenge yourself to find your own way down the Middle Channel – of course always under the watchful eyes of professional kayakers.
For the ultimate thrill, take to the river in May or early June when spring high water serves up waves to rival almost any river on the planet.
