The Ottawa River is Canada's most popular whitewater destination because of its big rapids and warm water all summer. Spectacular Canadian Shield vistas adds to the splendor. This photo shows the rapids at summer levels. The exposed rock is covered in high water season May - Mid June creating the most exciting 2 days of rafting east of the Rockies.

Great for guides and even better for our guests is that the Ottawa has two seasons, Spring High Water and Summer Levels. Pictured here is summer levels that you can see by the action is very, very exciting. Now, you can get an idea how much more exciting the river is in May and June.
