OTTAWA RIVER - Main Channel - Lunch Stop Waves

LUNCH STOP WAVES
Good at: 14 feet and above

Those of you who are familiar with the Main Channel know where BFR is located, below Butcher's Knife rapid, but above Normans.  This is where the rafters enjoy climbing to the top of a rock that juts out over the river, and take turns jumping into the current below before swimming back to the riverbank with the help of a guide and rope.

Slightly downstream, centre-left is the best wave train on the Ottawa River at higher levels.  This wave train is continuous rollercoaster fun, where, when you're in the valley between the waves, you can't see the person paddling ahead of you!

These waves at higher water (14 and up) can be surfed as well!
