Five Mile Rapids   

Five Mile Rapids on the Petawawa River in Algonquin Park.

An interesting paddling day-excursion is to start at McManus Lake and make your way upstream on the Petawawa River. This is the farthest upstream that I've managed -- about a kilometer up Five Mile Rapids -- before running out of energy, water and time.
