The Chats Lake Community Boat Club is located in the Town of Arnprior, Ontario, at the confluence of the Madawaska and Ottawa Rivers, with access to some of the finest boating waters on the Ottawa River. The 16-mile reach of the Ottawa River between Chats Falls and the Chenaux Rapids provides a varied and uncrowded boating environment.

Launch Ramp

July 19 update - Glenn Arthur informed the excutive today, following a town council meeting, that the town has decided NOT to use the club's ramp. When the town ramp closes users will be directed to Red Pine Bay. Many thanks to members who provided feedback on this; at least it generated some interesting discussions.
