What to expect

Discover the soft sandy beaches of the Rouge river on our non-guided kayak, paddle board and canoeing river descent. There are several great swimming spots (most beaches are public land), and you can bring your lunch and have a picnic on the shore of the river. The Rouge river is CALM and most parts are very shallow. This 12 km (half day) section of river is in a rural setting, so expect to see some farms and cottages. We offer canoes (for up to 2 adults and 1 child), single or double kayaks and paddle boards.

  • Additional information
    Canoes have 2 seats. The 3rd person or children will have to sit on the (often wet) floor of the canoe.
  • Additional information
    Helpful hint! If you choose to canoe, it's important to understand that canoes are designed for 2 people and have only 2 seats. It is possible to put 3 if one is a child who will sit on the floor, but we do not recommend putting 4 in a canoe. Experience tell us that children under 10 probably won't want to paddle the whole time, so they should go in a canoe with an adult or ride in a kayak that could be towed. The best configuration puts at least 1 adult per canoe, no more than 2 adults or 2 adults + 1 child in a canoe ( 1 adult with 3 children won't work in 1 canoe). Extra participants can take a kayak or paddleboard.
