Ottawa River - Voyageur Provincial Park

Leaving the Bay

We kayaked the Ottawa River in August of 2010. We spent a few days at Voyageur Provincial Park and launched from there. All of our kayaking was above the Carillon Dam. The weather was mixed with some rainy, grey days and a couple sunny hot ones thrown in. Dave caught some nice bass. The picture to the left of this is my favorite one taken on the water. We were kayaking out of the bay towards the Ottawa River. The sky, water and parked boats in the distance made for a cool picture. Below are some other pictures of our time on the water.

Beautiful Morning Sky

Heading for the Launch

The photo to the left is taken just before the boat launch where we took out. We had a lot of fun paddling here. I encountered many herons along the way along with many other species of bird life. A few times as I paddled along a fish jumped beside my boat. The scenery was beautiful and the river wide with no current. The only work came from paddling back into the wind to reach the launch.

Dave's Bass!
