Title: Wheres the paddling this weekend?
Post by: JohnCyr on May 18, 2011, 09:34:06 PM
Hey guys!

Just wondering where everyone is paddling this weekend?

Stuff in the Laurentians is going down...

Options would be :

Ottawa Middle Channel at 16
Du Nord Ste Agathe seems to be still runnable..@ 16cms
The Rouge Upper Canyon is decent at 200cms
Petite Nation is at 76 cms wich is still alot of water!
Gatineau?
Petawawa is at medium flows...3.18
Keybrooke is a bit far but runnable..
Im pretty sure Trick or treat falls is fine right now..
And theres Palmer fest...

Anyone have other things in mind?

Id definately be in for a day of Rouge Upper Canyon and Petite Nation combined!

Come paddling tomorow at Champlain, then go to Whispers, where planning discussions are facilitated by free nachos...

BTW, maybe someone will bring his newly purchased boat? Hint: this someone also needs a new helmet...  --C.

Mat and I are looking at the Ottawa.  Camping wilderness tours friday and sat.  No reservation yet but weather is looking reasonable.

Im in for a Rouge/Petite Nation run on either of those days! Turns out I am going to a cottage tomorrow night and will be back saturday night. I have a roof rack and 1 spot in my truck.. As far as a shuttle well.. If we decide to run the rouge twice.. I can probably get a shuttle with Eau Vive Rafting as I work there but they do 2 rusn and dont get back to the camp in between.. they have a lunchspot at the take out. Otherwise.. If we run it once.. well have to figure something out.

Anyone looking for a Saturday paddle?  I'd be keen for Buseater, middle channel, rouge or ... ? I'd be keen to check out other rivers (anything in Newyork or elsewhere daytrippable in the 3+ to 5 - range)

I'd be interested in a Rouge/Petite combo run on Monday as well.  Let me know if it's going to come together.

Also, I'm planning to run the Middle Ottawa before the level gets any lower (it's down to 13.5 from 16 in a day and a half).
