Whitewater

The crowds and bugs are gone from Algonquin Park, the water is still warm and the leaves are at their prettiest.

Tom Beakbane will be paddling down the prettiest and most challenging section on the Petawawa River shortly.

This trip is for intermediate + whitewater paddlers. We will paddle the class 1 & 2 rapids, portaging only where necessary.
