River DescriptionBig water, big play. This destination play river, about an hour and a half NW of Ottawa, gets flow all summer long. After running McCoy's Rapid, the intrepid surfer has the choice of the Main Ottawa or the Middle Channel. Paddlers typically run the Main at normal or lower flows and opt for the Middle at higher water--but the choice is a matter of taste.StreamTeam Status: unverified

The gauge is a stick gauge, just below McCoy's Rapid and across the stream from a power plant dam. See Boatworks.net or the OWL gage for recent gage activity.
Note: because of power-plant demands on this dam-release river, the level can change radically--by 3 or 5 feet--within a day.
