Preparing for the Petawawa rapids

Hi All,

I am planning a trip down the Petawawa from Lake Travers to McManus in early July, with 2 adults and 2 children. We all have some whitewater canoe experience on the Allagash and Shenandoah rivers, so we think we can probably handle what the Petawawa throws at us. However, since none of us have been on this river before, we could use some advice on how to approach the various rapids sections, and what to watch out for in terms of the possibly more problematic sections.  I have heard that there is a Petawawa Whitewater Guidebook, but it seems very difficult to find.  Does anyone have a copy they would be willing to sell (or lend) us, or perhaps just take a few photos of the relevant pages, to help assuage our uncertainties?

I haven't done this route but this video shows good parts of it. He is doing the route from Cedar to McManus so you might want to fast forward a bit. Video Link
