Tour Description

Take a tour around the Swale, a provincially significant, Class 1 wetland on the west side of the town of Smiths Falls, Ontario. You will leave with a much deeper appreciation for all that wetlands provide and have engaged in contributing to compiling data for meaningful research. The Rideau Roundtable uses two 34-foot Voyageur replica canoes for the tours, which means we can accommodate individuals and groups up to 30 paddlers.
