"The Ottawa Valley in Ontario is packed with recreation opportunities. The Ottawa River itself and its tributaries are famous for everything from flatwater standup paddleboarding to rowdy whitewater kayaking. Meanwhile, the forests sprawling around the river are loaded with rolling singletrack trails. One ambitious event plans to showcase all the recreation the Ottawa Valley has to offer this summer in a massive three-week outdoor festival called Water and Dirt."

"'We want to bring people up for a day to participate and allow them to see what the Valley has to offer,' says Colin Coyle, the recreation program director for the Town of Petawawa. 'I mean, we’ve got some of the greatest whitewater in the world, and we have Algonquin Park. The whole event has been built on all this stuff that’s naturally in our backyard. There are five municipalities involved and Wilderness Tours.'"

"For 2023, the Water and Dirt Festival will have more than 14 outdoor events over three weeks, not to mention concerts and other entertainment."
