OWL Rafting on the Ottawa River
Attractions & Experiences
Ottawa Valley
Guests can choose from Low, Medium, or High Intensity rafting trips, with options suited to different ages, abilities, and comfort levels. Every trip is led by professional guides and includes the required rafting equipment.
A signature part of the OWL experience is the return journey aboard a pontoon boat, where guests enjoy a freshly grilled meal while cruising back to the resort.
After rafting, guests can relax on the sandy beach, swim, paddle canoes, kayaks, or stand-up paddleboards, play volleyball or disc golf, visit the OWL Grill, or unwind in the sauna. Overnight stays are also available, with camping, cabins, cabanas, glamping tents, and RV sites.
OWL Rafting offers a complete Ottawa Valley adventure combining a river trip down the historical rapids of the Rocher Fendu, a meal cruise returning to the OWL resort where the sandy beach, outdoor licensed grill and post river trip video awaits - join us for a day excursion or overnight experience.
