Watch: Tripping The French River
If you’ve ever watched the slow paced/real-time documentaries TRIPPING The Bruce (you can watch the entire TRIPPING the Series episodes online) you will be excited to know that TRIPPING The French River is coming April 21st at 8 p.m. The documentary takes viewers for a 110-kilometre paddle in a cedar strip canoe on one of the rivers that helped form Canada.
“Paddling the French River is both a step back in time and way to see all the great flora and fauna that Ontario has to offer. I don’t believe there is another river in Ontario that has as much personality as the French. There are sections that feel like a lake, there are rapids, waterfalls, abandoned towns, soaring cliffs, historic lodges, and stunning narrow channels used by the voyageurs that are just barely wide enough for a canoe.”
Online shorts about TRIPPING The French River will premiere alongside the documentary, highlighting the edible plants along the river, the history of the river’s cottages, and a story of a ghost town whose remnants can still be seen along the shoreline.
Watch TVO Original TRIPPING The French River at 8 pm ET on April 21, 2024, on TVO Today’s website, YouTube channel, smart TV apps and broadcast channel.
