Trip Report – 10 Apr 2023 – Green’s Creek
This is our 2nd annual spring run of Green’s Creek in Ottawa. The name will be familiar to most Ottawan’s as there is a big sliding hill in winter that takes its name. The creek itself flows through greenspace for most of its length and passes just at the bottom of the sliding hill. This…
Trip Report – Noire River 30 Jul – 2 Aug 2011
My first (and only so far) trip down the Noire river (Black river) near Fort-Coulonge, Québec, Canada. This was organised to be a more leisurely trip with many being introduced to whitewater canoe-camping and several girlfriends coming along for the trip. The Noire river, is a good easy introduction to canoe-camping, there are a few…
Trip Report – Lower Petawawa – 16-18 Sept 2022
While the original plan was to re-do the Upper Petawawa only two weeks after doing it the first time with a different group, our experience made us change plans and run the Lower section instead. It was also a good opportunity for me to run both sections of the river! The water was once again…

Trip Report – 9 to 13 Jul 2010 – Dumoine River
Another wonderful trip down the Dumoine river, with a bit of a more experienced group with most of us having done the river the year prior. For this trip we were 8 participants (Sunshine, Burger, Gibe, Val, Seb, Sylvain, Wissell with Eric L. joining us) in 4 canoes and wanted to see just how far…
Trip Report – 27 Jun to 1 Jul 2009 – Dumoine River
Another first for me on this trip, canoe-camping and white water canoeing all wrapped in one! For this trip we were a fairly large group with 10 participants in 5 canoes (Marty B, Ben, Van) and decided to tackle the Dumoine River on a 5 day trip. Preparations Several meetings to plan, discussions around itinerary,…
