Paddling at Valleyfield Saturday, August 28, 2021
So far there are 6 of us going for sure.
Join Us if you like to practice boofing waterfalls, punching holes, doing ferries, upstream attainments, surfing, rolling, all in very clean, clear water!
Rinse and repeat!
All day!
No shuttle needed, the course is 300 meters long, with a nice path, picnic tables and amenities on site.
We are leaving at 10 am and plan to be at Valleyfield before noon.
An hour and a half to get there, three hours of paddling, an hour and a half (stop for Poutine!!) and we are back in Ottawa, 6pm latest, probably earlier, so your evening plans will not be compromised.
Post here if you plan to attend.
All COVID-19 protocols in place please.
See you at my place, 100 Boteler Street, off Sussex Drive, or at Valleyfield Saturday, at 11:30 am.

Exact Address:
From Ottawa, take the 417 towards Montreal.

Drive to Cornwall (hwy 138) -- approximately 35km.
Follow hwy 138. It turns right then left as you approach Cornwall.
Before getting onto the 401, you can stop at Tim Horton’s in the mall that is just past the 401.
Take the 401 East (toward Montreal).
The 401 turns into Hwy 20 at the Quebec border
Drive 14km after the border and exit at Route 201 Sud towards Salaberry-de-Valleyfield (exit 14)
You’ll cross a few bridges, then you’ll enter Valleyfield. Take a right at Rue Alexandre (a 1 way street)
Turn left on Rue Dufferin.
You’ll see a shopping mall on the right. At the set of lights, turn into the shopping mall (you’ll see a Jean Coutu in the mall parking lot and a McDonalds on the other side of Dufferin)
Drive BEHIND the Maxi grocery store. This will bring you to a small parking area behind the mall and you’ll see the river with gates hanging.
