Gatineau River
Plenty of info describing the Gatineau can be found on the internet. A good place to begin is
http://cdb-ottawa.com/rivers-rapides/ and clicking on the appropriate link. In a nutshell, the Gatineau is a long lake, broken up by Class III/IV rapids with sharp rocks along the shore, all in a very majestic setting. The river is not busy with other boat traffic. All rapids are signed with a portage sign and route. Big water fun or try the creek line river right at the Bec du Corbeau. Expect the river trip to last 3-4 hours so bring something to eat and drink.
Membership: The club is covering the shuttle and food so please consider becoming a member ($20)
