Esprit White Water

Only Esprit offers you whitewater rafting on both channels of the Ottawa River in the same day!

In the morning, we will challenge the rapids of the Calumet( Middle) Channel which features Garvin’s Chute (a 5m high waterfall) and the roller coaster waves of Lower Ostrom’s. Surf’s up at Butterfly Rapid as we slide our 14 ft. rafts onto the wave face for an exhilarating front surf. Between rapids, you can cool things down body surfing in the swift moving currents. At the end of the Middle Channel, enjoy a healthy riverside lunch while your equipment is being loaded onto our shuttle vehicles to bring you back to the put in for your second descent.

In the afternoon, we will pack in plenty of action on the Recher Fendu (Main) Channel riding the crashing waves of The Lorne, Butcher’s Knife, Norman’s and Coliseum – an array of world-class whitewater. Featuring towering 14 ft. waves, the majority of the river’s volume surges through this channel. After the trip, celebrate the day with an ice cold beer, juice or soft drink. The first round is on us! Reserve online today and experience whitewater rafting on the mighty Ottawa River with Esprit Rafting Adventures.
