Ottawa River's beginner friendly Middle Channel. Many safe lines or alternate lines and of course, all rapids can be scouted and walked!
Why:
To meet your new and less new paddling buddies and do what we love best.... PADDLING!!!!

Reminder the water is warming up, but dry suites are still recommended.
WT is not charging and we do not need to register.
You could use the post for car-pooling purpose or meet us directly at the take out
shuttle will be set up there
What to Bring:
Food: Bring drinking water for the day and a snack or lunch, since we usually stop somewhere along the river.
Bring:
-- your boat with flotation, helmet, spray skirt and paddle
-- lifejacket (PFD), whistle and throw bag
-- clothing appropriate to the air and water temperature, river booties or other kind of shoes.
which is a condensed version paraphrased from the safety thread on our CdB-Ottawa.com Webb Forum.
Newcomer's day is also a couple days prior to the deadline for renewing your 2022 membership, so make sure to renew if you haven't already! We will bring membership forms ($20 per member or family/year) but easier to do it online!
