I have room in my Ottawa River clinics for a
few more people!
July 1, 2004
If you have been kayaking long enough to know
the name Eric Jackson, you probably know the Ottawa River name too.
Well- the best playboating river in July/August for 90% of the kayakers
out there is the Ottawa River in Ontario. It is warm water, big
water, friendly drop-pool rapids, but you can challenge yourself
as much as you want by running harder lines, bigger holes, or even
the class V Garvin’s Rapid (which also has various lines at
various difficulties) on the Middle Channel. I have some availability
on three of my four clinics.
July 24-25- 4 spots for the weekend clinic
July 26th-30th- 5 day clinic is full.
July 31-August 1st- 2 day clinic also has some
spots available.
The accommodations are incredible with three
hot meals each day (even on the river!), hot tubs, family atmosphere,
but also two bars, live music, bungee jumping, a jet boat pickup
on Thursday night at the takeout for a party boat dinner and ride
after the river run, my instruction, after paddling activities three
of the five nights, and the list goes on!
I have spent at least one month on the Ottawa
every year since 1993 and started going up there in 1984, come find
out why!
