Wright Water

Right on the banks of the Ottawa river, in full view of the line-up for Left Side and Baby-face is the previous home where Ken and Nicole Whiting trained for and won the 97 World Championships - ‘Robertsons’. Luckily for us, the cabins on this site are now home to the Wilderness Tours ‘Keener’ kids kayaking program - where veteran kayakers like myself, Stephen Wright, Billy Harris, Ruth Gordon, Eric Jackson, and many many more come to coach the next generation on the ample play and river-running opportunities of the Ottawa at summer flow.
Right now the water levels have us surfing some incredible corner wave and baby-face while Garb is just a bit too high. The freestyle training opportunities are great but there’s also river running opportunities on the class 4 right outside the back door called ‘Initiation’ and a 4+ / 5- over on the Middle Chute called “Garvins”. What a great place to be in late summer!
Just in from a late-evening Corner Wave session where the lights form the porch guide the way home .. Keenerville Rocks!
