Title: Upper Rouge Sat. May 19
Post by: Bill Schlarb on May 17, 2018, 08:03:48 PM

Hi folks, a group will be running the Upper Rouge (21 Milles section)
It is an intermediate level day trip NW of Mont Tremblant
http://www.cartespleinair.org/Canot/04/Rouge21MillesLeduc.pdf

Plans are to meet at the takeout at 10:30am  GPS N46° 37.959' W74° 44.743'
Google Maps says to allow for about 3 hours drive time from Ottawa.

Please feel free to us this thread to arrange rides etc.

Bill

Well, I'd love to go!

Unfortunately, I am lending my car this weekend* so would need a ride!

I live along the route to get there, I bring a spare paddle, locator beacon, first aid kit, bingo kit etc... And buy beer.

Can I get a ride with someone?

*So that two ladies can go raft... the Rouge!

I take it back, I am going to pass on this, much too far of a drive for me for the day. Sorry.

Great day! Hooked up with Montréal folks. No casualty, just lots of continuous rapids. Essentially no flatwater for 20 km... And 2 big Class III+ drops with quality rapids around. A good shakedown river for a new boat!
