Dumoine River (Was the "Spanish River West Branch")

Whitewater

***UPDATE Aug 19!*** Due to low water levels on the Spanish, I'm going to change the trip to the Dumoine River from Bridge Rapids (Lac Benoit) 4-5 nights down to the Ottawa. Pretty laid back pace with at least one rest/WW play day on the way.

I'll be in a solo boat. Looking for another solo paddler(s) or a tandem pair to run with me. Need to be reasonably comfortable in moving water and self sufficient. Costs will be part of the shuttle cost (shuttle costs $485 for 2 boats, $595 for 3 boats, etc). I'll be leaving from the Orangeville area midday on the 12th and have room in the vehicle for up to two people and one boat if needed.
If you're interested email me.
