About

This 2 Day Package includes 2 soft adventure whitewater rafting trips while staying at the OWL waterfront resort playing and relaxing.

Trip Overview

This 2-day rafting experience is for everyone – a gentle introduction to whitewater with plenty of excitement and splashes. Paddle the dynamic Rocher Fendu (melted rock) rapids of the Ottawa River using more conservative lines suitable for children. Our experienced and passionate guides control the raft paddles – 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 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 National 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!

Play a round of frisbee golf, a game of beach volleyball, or try your luck at horseshoes. 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.
