##Trip Overview:
Resort: Day 1
Play a round of frisbee golf, a game of beach volleyball, or relax on the beach. The resort is not a licensed establishment, so our guests are welcome to bring their own alcoholic beverages. Ice cream, snacks, cold drinks and ice are available for sale on site. We also boast a large floating swim dock with slide, SUPs, kayaks, canoes, a life size maze, and a hot sauna.
Rafting: Day 2
This is a full day rafting experience for everyone! – a gentle introduction to whitewater rafting with plenty of excitement and splashes. Raft the dynamic Rocher Fendu (split rock) rapids of the Ottawa River using more conservative lines, suitable for children. Our experienced and passionate guides control the raft using oars – all you have to do is listen for directions and have fun. Body surf and float in the friendly warm waters, if the water levels allow we will stop for a cliff jump!
As the currents calm down, we transfer to the comfort of our signature Pontoon Boat where your dry clothes, and a feast of freshly prepared grilled buffet awaits. Relax and reenergize while you cruise back to the OWL Resort via the historical route of the First Nations, viewing the rugged beauty of the Canadian Shield. Once back at the resort, your guides will show a video presentation where you can relive your day’s adventure!
