Canada Trips

Every August, Liquid Adventures visits French-speaking Quebec for some of the best whitewater within a day’s drive of the Washington area. This year once again we will drive up to those sparkling rivers to the North in two trips, Strong Intermediate (class III – IV) and Advanced (class IV – IV+).
On the Canada Strong Intermediate Trip (Aug. 5 -12) we will complete a circuit including the Black, Ottawa, Gatineau, and Rouge, where there are beautiful play sections of the river. All that is necessary is to have a roll in class III white water and be comfortable paddling the Lower Yough. Paddlers can usually bring two boats one for playboating and one for river running.

For the Advanced Tour of Quebec (Aug. 19 – 26) we include the Mattawin, Mistassibi, Metabetchuan, Malbaie and Jacques Cartier, Tewkesbury Section. This is largely a river running trip. Paddlers should be comfortable paddling the Upper Yough. The exact rivers we choose will depend on the group’s abilities and water levels at the time. The trip will end with dinner in Quebec City.
Daily itinerary includes camping in tents, eating breakfast in camp, exploring and playing on a river, having dinner at a local restaurant and driving to the next river. Please check the calendar for dates.
Prices: The cost of either trip, (6 days of paddling and two days for travel) is $795, plus about $100 for restaurant meals. Prices include breakfasts in camp, lunches on the river, transportation, and leadership.
