Lower madawaska River Wine & Cheese paddle

Outing Type → 

yes this is a reminder of the Wine and Cheese paddle

We are not booked up as there have been a couple of cancellations and as a bonus it looks to be warmer than some years and water levels are currently high. Maybe too high but a couple of weeks should remedy that.

This could be an ideal year to try that Spring canoe trip...good food good company and a great river run

Lower Madawaska River

Outing Type → 

I live close to the Lower Mad and paddle it frequently. Please join me for a fun summer run down from Aumond’s Bay to Buck Bay. This section of river is one of the best novice to intermediate whitewater
day trips in southern Ontario. The river is pool and drop with good portage trails around all difficult rapids. I would suggest you make a weekend of it by camping at Paddler Co-Op or Jessup’s Campground,
and enjoy another day of paddling at Palmer Rapids.
Kayaks or whitewater canoes with flotation bags are required. Bring a lunch and we’ll enjoy a meal on the river.

Moira River

Outing Type → 

Book as soon as possible. This is our season opener and a chance to recover our skills after a long winter. We will start at Chisholm’s Mill and finish at Latta in the morning, eat lunch in our vehicles and run Lost Channel in the afternoon. This is a good opportunity for new spring paddlers to introduce themselves and demonstrate their competence. The river is not particularly technical and we will only be about an hour from our cars. This trip is open to anyone who doesn’t mind swimming in ice-cold water. Tandem canoes must have a centre airbag. Wetsuits or drysuits are required. If winter is later and weather/water conditions are unsuitable, we will postpone the trip. Limit of six boats.
