navigation maps

Post by **onemorecast** » Mon May 14, 2007 9:19 pm

I plan to fish the Ottawa River for the first time and I don't want to wreck my boat. I was wondering were I can get navigation maps of the Ottawa River.

Thanks for the help

You might try Maps of the World on Wellington. I know they have topo maps maybe give them a call. If they don't carry them they can probably point you in the right direction.

Bits and Baits has them so does Ozile's.

Onemorecast: Are you looking for paper maps or the Navionics chips for the gps units. If it is the latter, I have them at Paddletales.

The "Chandlery" at Richmond rd. at Pinecrest Rd, has the actual Canadian navigational charts for the Ottawa river, They are by far the most detailed and the most accurate available. They are also printed in very large scale so the detail is incredible. Depending on which stretch of the river your on, you'll need to purchase the appropriate set. I have both the Ottawa to Carillon, and the Pembroke to Ottawa sets and I love'em! They're a little pricy(30-40 bucks)but they're worth every penny! They also produce map sets for every major navigable waterway, ie: Rideau Lakes, Trent Severn, St Lawrence river, Bay of Quinte, all the Great Lakes, etc. etc.

Good Luck.

All I suggest is if you are going the NavCan paper maps route, do yourself a favour and go to a Kinko's or printing shop and have them laminated. They role to store. They will last a life time.
