Whether you’re coming with family, friends, or a group, there’s a rafting experience tailored just for you. For those seeking a more relaxed introduction to whitewater, OWL’s Low Intensity trips are the perfect choice. These guided adventures focus on enjoying the scenery, riding the waves, and taking in the river at a comfortable pace. It’s an ideal option for families, younger adventurers, or anyone wanting to ease into rafting with a lower chance of falling into the river.
If you’re ready to turn up the fun, the Medium Intensity trips strike a balance between adventure and excitement with a chance of falling in. Paddle as a team, take on bigger waves, and feel more connected to the power of the river. For thrill-seekers, the High Intensity option delivers maximum adrenaline — bigger hits, more action, and a truly immersive ride through the Ottawa’s legendary rapids.
One of the highlights of any visit is the food. OWL is known for its hearty meals, served fresh and designed to refuel you after a day of activity. Whether you’re enjoying a post-rafting BBQ on our signature pontoon boat cruise, or a full meal as part of an overnight package, the dining experience adds another layer of comfort and enjoyment to your stay.
The experience at OWL Rafting’s Resort goes far beyond the river itself. After your time on the water, unwind on the resort’s sandy beach, where you can soak up the sun, swim, or simply relax with friends. It’s the perfect setting to reflect on the day’s adventure and enjoy the natural beauty of the Ottawa Valley.
From adrenaline-pumping Whitewater Rafting to peaceful moments by the water, OWL Rafting on the Ottawa River offers something for everyone. Whether you’re visiting for a day or staying at the OWL Rafting Resort, you’ll leave with lasting memories, great stories, and a deeper appreciation for one of Canada’s most incredible rivers.
