WOW. A bit of history. @marycolaianne4176 8 minutes ago (edited) My brother Jim Colaianne one of the original paddlers. Jim was part of the first Ottawa River scouting expedition that named many of the rapids. On their initial scouting run, after running a big and steep hydraulic, located in the center of the river, they eddied out onto a shoreline of razor-sharp basalt rock that sliced and instantly deflated their raft’s main front compartment. Jimmy suggestion Butcher’s Knife, stuck. Outstanding adventures abounded that season. He just passed away last week. and ran the rivers in a C-1 for over 45 years. Cheat , Nu , Gualey, Yough, Petawawa. I chucklee at the prices. When he started on the Yougheghney in the 60's the trips were $2.00 US. Keep on paddling
