Description

Roughly translated from Algonquin, the name Petawawa means “where one hears the noise of the water”. The Petawawa River flows through the northern end of Algonquin Provincial Park. After spending one week at camp, preparing for trip and developing their leadership skills, the group will leave for 14 days on the river. The first half of the trip is mostly flatwater paddling and portaging through the western part of Algonquin Park. Upon reaching Cedar Lake, the whitewater paddling begins and participants will have the opportunity to hone their skills. This route has been travelled for generations, where evidence of early travelers can still be found through stunning petroglyphs on breathtaking cliff faces. The program cumulates with a final week at camp where participants will put their leadership skills to practice in placements and stewardship projects. Please note this trip is an all-gendered program, accommodations both on trip and at camp will be all-gender.

Skill Level: Intermediate-Advanced
Some experience with canoe tripping is strongly recommended, white water paddling experience is ideal, but not required. Must be a confident swimmer.
What to expect: 6-8 hour paddling days, long portages, fun whitewater, well-established campsites
