Power Paddle June 8 Recap
Are you curious, but not sure what the power paddle is like?
Tonight, we were fortunate to have @Karen Butterfield join us and explain how to safely cross the river and where to go to explore some of the "gem" areas of the ottawa river.
We ended up doing approximately 7.5 km and exploring the side streams on the Gatineau side and made it to the edge of Lac Leamy. On our adventure we saw muskrats, a painted turtle, countless ducks, geese, and gosling. We were even graced with a heron flying right over us as if it was a national geographic cover photo (I think Josephine even captured a photo of the heron).
To make it more active, @Tristan Baujault challenged us to a couple of sprint races for fun.
I've added a couple of photos of the experience.


If you were at the power paddle, please feel free to add you photos as well.
Hopefully, this post has peaked your interest. Come join us for the next power paddle session on June 15. We're aiming to launch at 6pm.



I had a great time! The weather was perfect. Sadly the heron photo didn't turn out all that great but I promise it was a spectacular fly by!
