Hi folks,
After talking to lots of folks this evening, the consensus is to run the Bonniebrook in the lower Laurentians.
It's a technical class III river with a nice mix of rapids.
For a description, check out
http://www.cartespleinair.org/Canot/04/BonniebrookLeduc2009.pdfWe'll be starting at the Cote Saint-Patrick put-in and going to Domaine Beriau or the Hydro-Quebec Rd. takeout
Plans are to meet at the Tim Horton's in Saint-Colomban at 10:15AM then head over the river at 10:30AM
GPS co-ordinates: 45.705202,-74.095902
Google maps suggests you give about 1 3/4 hours drive time from downtown Ottawa
The usual caveats about spring paddling and cold water gear apply...
Please feel free to use this thread to arrange rides etc.
If you have any questions send me a PM or give me a call at (613) 224-8507 after 8:00 PM Friday
Bill
