FORESTERS FALLS RAFTING FIELD GUIDE
Two Days of Adrenaline and Recovery on the Ottawa: Sport Raft & Resort Package in Foresters Falls
A two-day OWL Rafting package that pairs a high‑intensity day of sport rafting on the Ottawa River with a second day of waterfront resort amenities and beach games.
Two Days of Adrenaline and Recovery on the Ottawa: Sport Raft & Resort Package in Foresters Falls.
This two‑day Sport Raft & Resort Package on the Ottawa River combines a full day of high‑intensity, small‑raft paddling and surf with a second day to decompress at the OWL waterfront — think cliff‑jumping, body surfing and a pontoon cruise back to the resort, followed by beach volleyball, SUPs and a large floating swim dock.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
High‑intensity sport rafting — small rafts, big thrills
Day one is a full‑day, high‑intensity run in a small sport raft guided by an OWL professional and a crew of paddlers; expect active paddling, the possibility of flips, body surfing and optional cliff jumping where the river allows.
Pontoon boat cruise and a historical route home
After the rapids, the operation transfers paddlers to a pontoon boat for a scenic cruise — a dry ride back to the OWL Resort with a grilled buffet while viewing the rugged Canadian Shield along the First Nations’ historical route.
A full day of beach games and waterfront facilities
Day two is deliberately restorative: beach volleyball, frisbee golf, a floating swim dock with slide, SUPs, kayaks, canoes, a bike pump track, a life‑size maze and a hot sauna keep the pace playful and social.
What the day feels like
What the two days feel like
You arrive ready to paddle, spend a full day in a sporty, small raft guided by an OWL professional and a compact crew, surf and float the river’s more challenging lines, and then exchange wet adrenaline for the comfort of a pontoon boat and a grilled buffet as you cruise back to the resort. The next day is intentionally low‑key: shore‑based games, swimming and resort facilities let you stretch out and relive the run — including a video presentation by your guides.
