We highly recommend taking it ALL in.

🛶 super close to NCC-CCN River House

🛶 very user friendly equipment
🛶 great staff
🛶 beautiful spot along the Ottawa River
🛶 SUP & bike rentals too!

Obvs it’s not free, but it’s also the only location this close to downtown Ottawa to kayak so effortlessly. Well worth it!
