From the iconic Ottawa River with its world-class whitewater to serene flatwater paddling in the heart of cottage country, Ontario offers something for every paddler. Chase big waves, tackle multi-day wilderness trips in Algonquin Park, or soak up fall colors on clear, glassy lakes.
And let’s not forget the beauty of the region—think rugged Canadian Shield, shimmering waterways, and endless wildlife encounters. It’s no wonder Ontario’s rivers and lakes are a must hit for every paddler in North America.
