Hi

Well my reference is from simpler times when there were no internet, websites or online gauges. We would base our decision on whether the water was above or below the red line painted on a rock. We would drive up to the Lower Rouge putin and drive to the Middle Rouge if the water was too high. And at the time, most club members knew or soon learned the names of the sections we normally paddled.

Of course as times change, the naming of sections also change to suit whoever puts it out first. But if you ask me go paddle the "Canyon" section of the Rouge, I would clarify that with a question, "Is that the section near to Harrington?" so I don't end up at the wrong place.

I tend to use the above site because the government online gauge is referenced.

have fun on the river ....

Larry

Well Larry, it depends what is your reference.  We are using the Quebec White Water info-d?bit reference. There are 6 sections named for the Rouge river with their current water level on this site.
See by yourself here for the complete list, the Rouge is in the Laurentides region.

We are running the section of the Rouge named Canyon.

Looks like I was thinking that we were running a different section that we really are. Daniel informed me of the correct section to look up and on second though we're definitely in. I've got a dog sitter for the dogs and the kayaks already up on the roof. See you guys at 10:00 in the usual meeting spot. Cheers!  8)

Words words... The section is known as "Harrington canyon" section. This avoids confusion.

The lower section, which ends in the Ottawa river, is entirely feasible at 160 on the gauge, even in a playboat (I've done it), but many swam that day. Let's say the run is a bit... stressful. And there is significant current just where you need to take out to portage the falls.

On the other hand at this level, the Harrington canyon section has only one major rapid which ends in a big 'lake', and the rest is just fun.

Is anyone leaving from Ottawa? We can meet at my place at 8:15 (87 Goulburn--convenient location) to sort things out... I will be celebrating a friend's birthday tonight, but my mobile phone # is 613 355 2470.

hi

From a person outside looking in ... what a confusing thread.

Historically there is actually 3 sections of the Rouge noted by the location:

Upper: In parc Mont Tremblant ... great for a 2 day canoe trip
Middle: the Harrington section
Lower: the 7 sisters section, taking out at hwy 148

Using the word "Canyon" to describe a section is most confusing because all 3 sections look like a canyon to me, especially when you are floating down in a boat.

BTW: at 160 cms the waves and holes on the Lower Rouge are huge... but it was a hoot to run it 130 cms a few years ago

Take care and have Hoppy Easter

Ok.  It's official.  I'll see you guys Friday morning.
If anyone wants a ride, and can get to Orleans, I have room for 2 paddlers and 3 boats.
