When you raft with the best, word gets around.

Each year, more people return to RiverRun Rafting and Wilderness Resort to experience the incredible thrill of whitewater rafting on the Ottawa River. With RiverRun Rafting, you can choose the trip experience and thrill level that’s right for you!

Choose between our traditional 12-passenger whitewater rafts and our exclusive 6-passenger sport rafts – on any trip. RiverRun Rafting offers large groups the opportunity to customize trip times.

Start and end your rafting adventure at our beautiful 165-acre resort – located just below the last major set of rapids. No bus rides or boat tows back to your dry clothes. The hot showers, sauna and our welcoming pavilion is just a short walk away. Ottawa River Provincial Park is next to us and is only a short drive from the World Famous “Algonquin Park”.

Big Rafts & High Adventure

Our most popular raft trip is our 12 passenger High-Adventure Raft Trip. This big raft offers lots of whitewater fun and is perfect for first-timers, groups and families…a little more raft and a great Canadian experience!

Sport Rafts & Ultimate Adventure

RiverRun pioneered the sport raft program on the Ottawa River over 20 years ago and we can confidently say “we do it best”. Our rafts are custom made for us by Sotar. Lighter in weight and with extra cross tubes, allowing you and our guides the maximum fun and experience available in whitewater!

Family Rafting & Heritage Tour

For the young and “young at heart”, join us for this gentle water raft trip on the Middle Channel of the river. With just enough whitewater to make it fun there’s plenty to see and learn about this historical river.

Hey guys! This is a huge shout out to Gwyn, Chaz and all of the amazing staff at the resort! I was with the Dixon group of 9 on Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th of August. As a non swimmer, who was excited yet scared skinny, the guides our group had each day made it a lot easier for me, and made me feel very safe, along with a ton of chirping and laughs! I can't thank you enough for the great time I had, I know the rest of my group feels the same way. I can't wait to come back again and test myself even more! With the utmost appreciation-see you soon, Mer :)

Our Resort & Accommodations

We just completed the two day Ultimate Adventure Rafting trip and all 5 of us had a blast. Your staff is fantastic, always helpful, friendly, very hard working and the emphasis on safety can't be overstated. I brought 4 teenagers and both Gwin and John were fantastic guides and I wasn't worried about anyone's safety. We really enjoyed Gwin's sense of humour and his knowledge of the river. John was great in the small raft as he recognized my youngest son had concerns and although he encouraged him to take part in each of the rapids, there was never any pressure and there was always an option to join a larger raft (which he did once).......by the end of the day my youngest was doing the rock slap and the rope pull over and I was confident that John was looking after him. John also had great knowledge of the river and I really appreciated his calm demeanour especially entering the Endo! The meals were great and Drew and the other safety kayaker's were fantastic. Gwin said if we didn't feel it in our core, we weren't paddling correctly.......trust me, at 46 I now know what a core is as I'm still feeling it, but the kids now want to come back in the spring for high water! Hard forward! See you in the spring, the Lavallee's from Barrie.
