Launch Point: McLean Beach, Arnprior
This Canada Day, we're bringing the glow to the Prior! 🌟
Join us for our very first Kaleidoscope Kayaking event in Arnprior—a magical evening of glowing kayaks, sunset paddling, and a front-row seat to one of the Ottawa Valley’s best fireworks displays.
We’ll launch from McLean Avenue Beach and start with a relaxed float on the Ottawa River to soak in golden hour and sunset views. Once the sky begins to dim, we’ll make our way up the Madawaska River toward the marina docks and settle in with the other boats to watch the Canada Day fireworks show, launched from the island just below the weir.
In our LED-lit Oru Kayaks, we’ll be easy to spot and safely grouped together for this unforgettable night on the water. The full route is about 3 km round-trip, making it a perfect beginner-friendly paddle.
✨ What’s Included:
✅ LED-lit Oru Kayak rental
✅ All safety gear, including life jackets
✅ Guided group paddle
✅ A few fun local history tidbits
✅ Unforgettable water-level view of the fireworks
