Have You Shot the Rapids Yet?

When I lived in Verdun I got many a boat ride through some of the rapids, rock island ,Herron island etc.but I never had a chance to do this,This looks like an absolute blast and a must do thing if I ever get back for a visit, These rapids were and are dangerous,the river itself is a very fast moving river that also has under currents in many spots people think look calm. Don'y kid yourself this river will claim your life in a heartbeat (or put an end to a heartbeat) if you are not careful. As kids we were warned constantly "don't go down to the river" so of course we all had adventures and tales we could stilll tell of adventure and in some cases misadventure. Sadly we have all lost people we know to the river that claimed their lives. All that said this rafting experience is just something that has to be done. I have done the Hells Gate out in BC but I would still like to do the river in my hometown. Anyway enjoy this video from 2021 I may even have posted this sometime in the past,but here it is again. Cheers ! Have Fun and Remember Verdun
