After spending the day on white water, your resort experience should be anything but rough. We may not be able to the control the water or the weather but we can make sure the temperature is just perfect in our hot tubs after your trip.

Rafters lodge is the après-raft centre for activities and entertainment on the Ottawa River. Many say its the most exciting spot in Ontario with lively nightlife on summer weekends. With live entertainment every night of the week in the summer!

The name RAFTERS has 3 meanings. The first is from the heavy beams, all BC fir. The second is from the old-time rafters who drove more than 90 million white pine logs to Montreal in the 19th century. Lastly, the name honours modern day rafters in their bright blue boats who challenge the biggest white-water in eastern Canada. Rafters is the heart of WT. It houses our dining room, amphitheatre, lounge, deck and reception.
