Hi folks,
Several of us are planning to run the Lower Rouge on Monday.
It's currently running around 36 cms (low), but with the forecast rains it will go up.
Plans are to meet at the takeout at 11:30am
Takeout GPS coordinates 45.643891,-74.68894

Hi!
I would very much like to join you. Bill, do you think I am good enough for the Rouge? I do not want to be a burden on you, guys.
I could also take someone along with me.
Thanks!

The level is below 40, which I consider the upper limit of 'low'--some people run all big drops at this level. If you are going to try this river, now would be the right time. But make sure your braces are good, and that you can roll in whitewater. There is nothing bigger than what you find on the Gatineau. But the difference is that at least one rapid is a continuous 500 m of Class III. Swimming there is not fun, for the swimmer and for the rescuers. But that said, everything is walkable.

I'd like to tag along on this trip. I'll be paddling a solo open boat and will meet the group at the takeout. If anyone is leaving from the Hintonburg/Westboro location, please let me know as I have extra room for boats and passengers.

Hi Yannick,
why don't do stop by our place? We can carpool from here. If you come in time I even have a coffee for you. So far we are only three. The van holds 6 people with gear.

A huge thanks to Bill for putting the river up on the calendar and to everybody that made it another great day on the river. I had a blast!

Cool! I was looking forward to this run, but getting my car back from the put-in on the Ottawa, I heard a nasty noise... Looks like a power steering hose came loose and I lost all fluid. I didn't want to drive my car too much without power steering. Already I might have ruined tyhe pump as it ran dry for 130 km, but hey, should replace it anyway... Got a great workout paddling, then another one trying to steer the car...
