Hello from the Ottawa River – Learning How to Whitewater Kayak
Way back when in February I went to the Outdoor Adventure Show and I twisted my friend Leslie’s arm to go on a learn-how-to-kayak weekend with me. We booked 2 days including meals, kayaking lessons and camping accommodation with a company called Equinox Adventures that has a rafting and kayaking camp located on Calumet Island in the Ottawa River.

Your time on the whitewater adventure of your life will be significantly better if you remember to bring your whitewater kayak paddle. This is a mistake I have made before as I set out on the raging waters without a paddle and without a life jacket. Errors like this could have cost me my life, but luckily my fellow rafters had brought ample kayak paddles and life jackets with them. We were able to embark on a fun and exciting adventure on white water. The lesson learned was, of course, that being prepared is the key component to plotting a perfect adventure vacation.
