Ragged Fall Paddling Trip
One of the most magnificent waterfalls in the area, you have to see it in person to take in its full beauty.
This paddling adventure is enjoyable for all skill levels. Departing right from the dock at the Algonquin Outfitters Oxtongue Lake store, this scenic 3 – 4 hour round trip paddle through the lake and river leads to the base of Ragged Falls.

For the ultimate experience, pack a picnic lunch to enjoy by the cascading water.
You can rent 1 person and 2 person kayaks, as well as 2 and 3 person canoes or if you want to travel like the voyagers, take their 10 person North Canoe (just call ahead to reserve). All rentals also come with a map, paddles and PDF’s for everyone on board.
