Title: Would anyone be Keen on a day at Valleyfield?
Post by: JohnCyr on February 16, 2012, 06:52:37 AM

Its supposed to be 0 on Saturday...Id be keen on going if there are enough people who are interested!

Valleyfield is a quarter mile long class II+-III kayak course with lots of eddies to catch. There is ice on the Boulders and a bit on the side but nothing dangerous IMO. See pics below.

This is no place for beginners and swimmers at this time of year since the water is cold.

Great place to practice for the upcoming creek season, catch a few eddies and a few surfs.
