Before the weather turns too chilly, travellers to Ottawa may want to embark on an exciting kayaking excursion on the various lakes and streams surrounding this beautiful area of Canada. Paddling.net offers a few fun tips and tricks for those looking to have an unforgettable experience while kayaking in the nation's capital.
Having the essential equipment may make the difference between a great trip and a less than stellar one. Although many tour companies provide the basics, it may be worth investing in things like a high-pitched whistle, which can help distressed boaters call for help.
Packing a dry bag is also essential, because expensive electronics and other gadgets could get ruined by even a small leak.
Those who wish to learn about kayaking may want to book a trip with the Ottawa Kayak School on their travels through Canada. As stated in the company's website, this fun institution offers classes, workshops and clinics for kayakers of all ages and skill sets, making for a great opportunity for groups to embark on some fun trips. Most of the excursions take place along the Ottawa River, which boasts thrilling rapids and scenic beaches.
