Explore Canada's Wilderness

There are few objects which embody the spirit and strength of Canadians more so than the canoe. It embodies the very character of our heritage of exploration, survival and appreciation for our wilderness. The rivers of the Upper Ottawa Valley flow fast and turbulant through the rugged Canadian Shield topography to their confluence with the Ottawa River. Each river tells its own story through its rogue characteristics; dramatic canyon walls, cascading waterfalls, meandering oxbows, turbulant rapids and majestic wildlife. We invite you to join us this summer and discover the spirit of the rivers and the magic Canadians call canoe tripping. Programs vary in length from 1 day scenic flatwater trips to 10 day wilderness expeditions.
