Whitewater Recreation In Canada
Whitewater recreation is easily available in many parts of Canada. Canada is the second largest country in the world and holds a large percentage of the fresh water found on the planet. Hundreds of rivers that flow out of the mountains, across the prairies and the tundra provide many diverse and outstanding recreational opportunities for whitewater kayakers, canoeists and rafters.
Whitewater is not limited to freshwater streams. Significant features are created in tidal rapids, particularly seen on the west and east coasts. Boaters also share the ocean surf with board surfers.

Famous quotes containing the words recreation and/or canada:
“Playing snooker gives you firm hands and helps to build up character. It is the ideal recreation for dedicated nuns.”
—Archbishop Luigi Barito (b. 1922)
“What makes the United States government, on the whole, more tolerable—I mean for us lucky white men—is the fact that there is so much less of government with us.... But in Canada you are reminded of the government every day. It parades itself before you. It is not content to be the servant, but will be the master; and every day it goes out to the Plains of Abraham or to the Champs de Mars and exhibits itself and toots.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
