It is still a few weeks away, but figured I'd get this started. This HOHW festival is an annual event on the Petawawa River that was initially started as an effort to help keep the river from being dammed; they've done a good job on that! There is usually a fair contingent of CdB folks that make it there for the Saturday in-town events, and some may hang around for the evening party and to paddle the Upper Petawawa the following day.

The Upper Pet is a superb Class 3-4 run, but it requires a very long hike (~ 4 km?) in to the put-in. Paddlers tend to use a variety of means to lug their boats and gear upriver; so if you are thinking about the trip then it may pay to make a plan for this before hand.
