One of the most beautiful places to enjoy paddleboarding in the Ottawa Valley is on the Ottawa River in Petawawa. Petawawa has two big sandy beaches that are perfect launch points, offers incredible sunrise and sunset views, has many islands to tour around and explore, and is close enough to paddle to the Quebec side of the river in calm conditions. Many of my favourite experiences, like paddling under a full moon and exploring an old ship wreck have taken place on the river in Petawawa.
