Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

Petawawa Wildwater from Lake Travers to McManus features 5 big C3 rapids all with portages and therefore suitable for intermediate paddlers as the rapids offer various options. There are lots of C2 rapids and play spots. The Petawawa even at high water is a great place to challenge your skills as we have even seen relatively novice fishing boaters in Grunmans survive this great long weekend run!
