I wish your written description included your start & end points.

They started from the Streetsville Memorial Park on Church Street, and went down to Port Credit. But the video does not show any of the top actually, and begins at Erindale Park. We will make a better video with a lot more explanation in the future, and are still accumulating footage.

I really regretted not being geared to do this when I briefly lived in Mississauga

The islands there are a pretty memorable part of the outing. It is probably the best whitewater run in Southern Ontario; interesting and much longer than the Elora Gorge. Next time, take the opportunity.

I always found that going down to Port Credit not worth the extra time. I liked the video. However, the Rapid right above Dundas St at Erindale Park is the best on this section of the river.

It is the biggest feature. The Credit just isn't very challenging for kayaks.

Love that Avalon - how well did it handle maneuvering rapids solo??

Sorry, I don't think there is an Esquif Avalon shown in the video. The purple canoe is a Pocket Canyon, which is one of my personal favorites. I will ask Erik to comment.

@@wildernesscanoeassociation I assumed it was an Avalon with the kneeling thwart - but now that I rewatch it actually appears to be a Miramichi (or something that starts with an M anyway). My mistake!

The black canoe with yellow trim is an Esquif Mistral. It was made out of Twin-Tex, and supposed to be a replacement material for Royalex, but this turned out to be a failure. Andy shows up to things often and has paddled his Mistral solo in many different rivers, so I think he likes it! But we have another member who has a Twin-Tex Mistral where the hull has collapsed with severe oil-canning.
