Gervais Caves on the Ottawa River

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Gervais Caves on the Ottawa River

Post by Lunker Larry »

Gervais Caves property (on the Ottawa River) to be purchased by Nature Conservancy of Canada

Did you know that Ottawa River Valley is home to the longest underwater cave system in Canada? Beneath the surface of the Ottawa River lies a subterranean wonderland seldom seen by the human eye – the Ottawa River Caves. The labyrinth measures over 10 kilometres in length under several islands throughout the Ottawa River, and includes a four kilometre section on the Ontario side of the river known as the Gervais Caves.

Nature Conservancy of Canada is currently in negotiations to purchase a 75-acre (30-hectare) shoreline parcel that contains most of the entrances to the Ontario portion of this remarkable series of caves.

A not-for-profit land conservation organization, the Nature Conservancy of Canada must raise the final $87,000 for this project by January 5, 2015 and it is asking for the help of people, corporations and foundations to meet this goal.
