OWL Rafting on the Ottawa River
Join OWL Resort for a two-day rafting adventure down the Ottawa River, combining thrilling rapids with scenic cliffs and lush forests. Perfect for families and thrill-seekers, this trip offers a safe yet exhilarating escape into nature.
OWL Rafting on the Ottawa River operates from Foresters Falls, Ontario, offering guided whitewater rafting and waterfront resort experiences on the Ottawa River.
The company presents a wide range of trips and packages, including half-day intro trips, soft-adventure options for lighter children, medium and high intensity sport rafting, and multi-day stay-and-raft resort packages. Many packages combine guided rafting with on-site resort amenities such as meals, pontoon cruises, a floating swim dock, frisbee golf, and beach volleyball. Paddler Camping provides a first-come, first-served camping option for kayakers and canoers, with trailers and RVs welcome at the site.
Family-focused trips note weight guidelines—for example, some soft-adventure trips accept children over 50 pounds—while sport and adventure options are available for experienced rafters seeking higher-intensity rapids. Several packages include a video recap of the trip and a pontoon boat return to the resort for post-rafting relaxation and a BBQ or communal meal. Guides and staff lead guests on river sections that vary by intensity, emphasizing safety and guided instruction tailored to each group's experience level. Bookings are available for groups and individuals, and many trips include safety briefings, lifejackets, and equipment suitable for varying river conditions and skill levels and on-site staff support.
