Whitewater

Dates: Sept 1 - 4, Labour Day Weekend.
This is a challenging stretch of white water and is more difficult than the Lower Petawawa section. But we will be doing it late in the season, so the water levels will be low and less pushy. There appear to be portages for most sets and we will be scouting any rapids above a class 2.
