Title: anyone paddling this week-end?
Post by: waverider on September 22, 2011, 09:01:18 PM

The Ottawa has drop and the only good wave is push button. The Gatineau was at 7 and the wave at bonnet rouge was awsome last sunday and the wave at lucifer was one hell of a ride. I'm thinking of going back a day this week-end if the level is still at 7. Anyone interested

Richard,
If the level is still fun next weekend, I could be talked into a Gatineau run.  Keep me posted.

Anyone up for a Sunday run of the Gat?  Preferably someone who knows the river better than I.

This interactive map provides a pretty decent overview:

I have run it before in the spring at VERY high water, and there are portage trails for every rapid, which would make them all scoutable.

John, you can update us this evening as to what level the Ottawa was at today, and this could influence our decision about the Gat.

I haven't heard back from Richard, so I'm not sure he's in, but I know a guy from Pembroke who'd be in too.

I hear that.  So, plan is to meet Graham from Pembroke at WT take-out at 10:00, for a cold run.
