Kempville Creek from Curry Park

5/29/2022

0 Comments

 
Biggest turnout of the 2022 year. Ten paddlers started out from Curry Park in Kemptville under warm and sunny weather. We headed downstream towards the Rideau River. The water was calm and perfect for paddling. After an hour of paddling we reached the Rideau. Four paddlers turned back while the rest of us crossed the Rideau to stop for a short break at Rideau River Provincial Park. Spotted today were a few herons, some turtles, and a few fish.

Saturday’s trip to Burritts Rapids was well attended by members. Launching from the east side of the locks the group travelled east towards Kempville. Overcast skies and a bit of a wind couldn’t stop us with the lead group travelling 9km to stop for a quick lunch and stretch.

After the paddle a BBQ was hosted by Heather and great food was also supplied by other club members. Celebrating Lucien’s birthday and Miles’ retirement.

After the meal it was all followed up with a campfire and fireworks.

Hiking and Winter Fun

3/14/2021

The kayak club is not just about kayaking it’s about a great group of friends that like to get together and kayak. Over the winter club members have often gotten together when Covid regulations allow. We have hiked, snowshoed, and skied various locations surrounding Chesterville. This winter we have visited Larose Forest, Alvin Runnels Forest, Limerick Forest, Long Sault Parkway, Marlborough Forest, and more locations. Kim and Lucien have been great hosts for bonfire nights that have helped make the isolation of Covid pass quicker. With the winter coming to an end and kayak season only weeks away here’s to a great winter.

Salmon River

10/10/2020

Today’s trip to the Rivière Rouge was changed because of expected high winds and thunderstorms around 2pm. Instead some of the club members headed out to Lafaivre and were surprised to find perfectly calm water on the Ottawa river. A quick trip across the river and then up the Salmon River to a peaceful resting spot. Winds picked up a bit on the way back making the Ottawa river a little choppy but nothing we couldn’t handle. Back at the cars by 2pm not a drop of rain touched us.

On Saturday September 12th the Chesterville Kayak Club visited downtown Ottawa by kayaking on the Rideau Canal.  Starting at the boat launch on Patterson Creek we kayaked towards Parliament Hill and the Ottawa river. Once we reached the boat locks we turned around and paddled to Dow's lake and then returned to the boat launch.

It looked like it would rain but the weather held off and a nice paddle took place. Calm on the inside water and little choppy but fun water on the Ottawa River side.
