Five Mile Rapids, French River - High Water In Late Summer
Five Mile Rapids is the most concentrated stretch of rapids on the French River, Ontario, Canada. This video was filmed when we travelled down this section of the French River in high water levels. It was late summer going into early fall but the summer had been very wet and there was a lot of water flowing down the various channels of the French, which is quite a complex system of waterways. The river is also important from an historical perspective, particularly during the fur trade. The French River was the first river to be designated a Canadian Heritage River, in 1986. The Five Mile Rapids section is an absolute classic of canoe travel in this part of the Canadian Shield.
The French river flows 105 km from Lake Nipissing to Georgian Bay but drops only 19 metres along its entire length. Flowing out of the middle French, which is more like a lake with islands, than a river, the main channel of the French River starts with Little Pine Rapids, which also marks the beginning of the Five Mile Rapids stretch. This is followed by Big Pine Rapids, Double Rapids, Blue Chute, Big Parisien Rapids, Devil Chute, Little Parisien Rapids then, a little further down, Crooked Rapids. The latter marks the end of the Five Mile Rapids run. After this it's flat all the way down to Dry Pine Bay.
We canoed this section of the river as part of the Eighteen Mile Island Loop, which links a downstream journed on the main channel, a.k.a. the south channel or Voyageur channel, with an upstream journey on the north channel. You can start at Dry Pine Bay or at Wolseley Bay, completing the loop and ending back where you started. This is a really nice canoe-camping trip, which you can easily do in a long weekend.
If you'd like to see more of the whole journey that the video above is taken from, then you can check out my article via the link below, which has lots of useful info on the route, camping, canoe hire, accommodation, etc.

Salvaged High River home gets new life
The Faerden family bought a home from the flood damaged neighbourhood of Beachwood Estates in High River and moved it to Exshaw, Alberta.
READ THE STORY:
Last January, the province launched an auction for 26 flood-impacted homes, the majority in the upscale High River neighbourhood of Beachwood Estates.
The handsome collection of family homes, some valued at nearly $1 million prior to the 2013 flood, were among 94 properties purchased by the province in the flood’s aftermath, which shelled out $92.9 million to affected homeowners.
Town of High River – New Water Main Installation
Since the disastrous floods of 2013 in High River, Alberta, CIMA+ has been working with the City’s representatives to find solutions to improve the slopes and drainage of the downtown sanitary mains. Increasing the elevation by more than 0.35 m heading southwest has proven to be a viable solution.
During recent construction associated with the High River Underground Utilities and Roads Programs for the Southwest, the contractor encountered a 400 mm water distribution main that had been incorrectly built in the early 1980s. As a result, the elevation of the existing distribution main created a conflict with the proposed elevation of the sanitary main.
CIMA+ suggested the construction of an overland bypass of the 400 mm line using an Inserta valve, two hot tap valves, and approximately 200 linear metres of 200 mm HDPE lines. This bypass allowed the contractor to isolate the section of the sanitary main within the road right-of-way, pre-fabricate a drop structure, cut out the old main and install the new drop structure. Once completed, the sanitary main was set in place as designed, which helped improve sanitary flows for all of High River’s southwest area/region.
