I’ve been a few times. What class rapids are you headeing out on? Is of course great fun—and can kick some high adrenalin. The key, for your first time, is to have a good crew and guide. Having someone who is willing to toss you around, stick you in holes, and test the stregth of the group—makes all the difference.

never been to canada to raft...but I spent my annivesary rafting in WV back in 99'...awesome river...great runs....BFE..but rated as one of the best rivers in the east.
dri-fit clothes and sox (wool sox work good too). not sure about the water temp up there, but usually they suggest you dress that way if the water is under 60 degrees....
have fun...let us know how it was

What's the name of the company that you're going with? My two roomates are both White Water Kayaking instructors on the Ottawa River... I did some kayaking there about a month ago... its intense to say the least.

so much fun. went with a bachelor party last summer. the small boats are better than the big boats. they tip easier , are more maneuverable, and are capable of launching your best friend 10 feet in the air screaming like a little girl as they crash full speed into the river.
