OWL Rafting - The Mighty Ottawa River From the gleam of fast-moving clear-water, to the rumble and sudden rush and tumble of rapid action, this is your chance to get in on the "current" sensation. OWL Rafting, owned and operated by Claudia and Dirk Van Wijk, national and international whitewater champions, operates out of Forester's Falls, Ontario, with raft excursions down the legendary 12km Rocher Fendu rapids of the Ottawa River.
The OWL experience takes place just 90 minutes from the nation's capital and takes you right out of this world. Open to singles, couples, or groups, OWL's excursions embark seven days a week, from mid-May through September. OWL offers a full day rafting trip - by far the longest tour on the Ottawa River. Their six-hour trip is complimented by a BBQ meal aboard the pontoon boat that meets you after the last rapid for the return cruise to the OWL resort. Just one of the reasons four out of five of their river rafters are either return visitors, or have sought them out on the recommendation of friends. For the experienced or more adventurous rafter, join their guided seven-person self-bailing sportrafts, or paddle your own one or two-person, self-bailing sportyak on the easier channels of the Ottawa River under the guidance of professional OWL guides.
Double Your Fun – Two days of sportrafting with OWL’s double deluxe packages are available any two days of the week.
Family Trips - a floating alternative on the Madawaska and Ottawa rivers - hold on and experience the rivers excitement, while your guide steers the raft on a natural rollercoaster.
