tHE fUn BEginS nOWFrom the gleam of fast-moving clear water, to the adrenalin rush, rumble 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 Foresters Falls, Ontario, with raft excursions down the legendary 12 km ‘Rocher Fendu’ rapids of the Ottawa River. The OWL experience takes place just ninety minutes from the nation’s capital. Excursions embark 7 days a week, from mid-May through September.

close to home! World Class Whitewater

EnjOy tHE RidEOWL offers you a full day, by far the longest tour on the Ottawa River. Our six-hour trip is complemented by a BBQ meal aboard our pontoon boats that meet you after the last rapid for the return cruise to the OWL Resort.

OWL Raftingon the Ottawa River

The choice of sportrafting and sportyaking is available on our Deluxe Two-Day Whitewater Vacations or as an

upgrade. These programs offer the more adventurous rafter a new way to experience the Ottawa River! Sportrafts are

14-foot rafts ideally suited for up to seven rafters and the guide. OWL’s sportyak program offers the seasoned rafter

a personal whitewater challenge under the watchful eye of our guides, who provide support kayaks.

Join us this summer!

“Whitewater is a workout—it does wonders for the appetite. Our recipe is simple: hearty fare with a touch of flair. We call it the OWL advantage.”
