OTTAWA RIVER - Middle Channel - S.Bend

S-BEND
Good at:

As you meander down toward the middle channel and make it through Iron Ring and S-Bend, you will discover as the river turns right, there is a sweet little foam pile on the river left side.

This feature is soft, small and easy.  Great for beginner surfers, but beware!  It's very shallow!

You can get out and have lunch on a rock that juts out at the top of the eddy, so close to the hole that you could reach out and touch surfing paddlers if you wanted!

Some raft companies take their clients body-boarding here, and everyone, regardless of skill level stops to play along their way.
Good for enders, a little too shallow for loops.
