I participated in the 'Life on a Ranch' program and it certainly did live up to my expectations. Trail guides and program leaders were very knowledgeable and friendly and answered all my questions without judgement. The horses are very well looked after and so are the guests. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to own a horse, this program will enlighten you to all the aspects of 'ranching'. Christine

Awful experience with their customer service. We had stayed previously before, both single parents…read morewith two kids and really wanted to go back. We booked a 2 bedroom villa, but unfortunately we had a funeral in the family and had to cancel, 5 days before book in. They make Absolutely no exceptions, which is unheard of as given the situation some understanding or compassion would have been at least expected. Honestly never going back, I don't understand, it was just horrible given everything else going on. So we are out 630 dollars for two days that no one can use. They wouldn't even let us reschedule or change dates or nothing was even offered. They basically said too bad!

When we got to the bottom, I told the crew that I did not enjoy myself because the lady in front was so slow. The lady said, "I need to enjoy the view for the $20 I paid."

We took a three generation (ages 6 to 80) raft trip (low intensity) last Friday, all on same raft,…read moreand it was fabulous. The Owl Rafting people were great--good humored, young, sociable, experienced, funny, very competent. A lot of attention given to safety, and the equipment was good. The ride was very exciting--a lot of action but nothing scary. The food on the pontoon boat at the end was very good (grilled pork chops, orzo salad, vegetable salad etc.) The scenery was fantastic--we're not sure why the Upper Ottawa seems unknown to so many tourists, but we hope it stays that way. The river is huge (more like a large lake in places), the forest looks primeval, and there are very few houses.

I was surprised how delicious it was. We were eating right by the waterfront which was gorgeous. The rafting experience was absolutely amazing. Run very well and very efficiently. When we were on the water it was truly magical experience. We are so glad we came. After rafting we were served a scrumptious late lunch on a pontoon boat. And we're towed back to the beginning. . I should not say told back we sailed back to the our headquarters. There we were able to view the video of our days excursion. I'll rafting exceeded my expectations. I made it one of the most memorable days of my summer. I would absolutely recommend it.

Also people with kayaks or sup boards frequently entered the bordered swim area. As for camping, site size are great but there are extreamly crowded which creates a lot of car traffic and it was extreamly noisy. There were load noises after 11pm felt like I was camping in my back yard. We had a good experience (the kids had a good time) but I dont think I will return as a camper.

Wesley Clover Parks has several areas of interest, of which some are: Ian Miller School of…read moreHorsemanship, Ottawa Equestrian Tournaments, Sports Fields, Trails, Campground, Farming, and a Forest School. It's difficult to fully review the "parks" - so this review will focus on the Equestrian Park. The parks have an interesting history - the National Equestrian Park was the first iteration with construction starting in 1974 via a lease of the lands by the City of Ottawa. In 2012, the city gave up the lease. The land use was up in the air for a few years, until a new lease was awarded to Wesley-Clover Foundation - my best guess was in or around 2018. Over the past several years, incremental improvements have been made. Was out there today and it is looking beautiful. The grounds are in great shape, the show rings are beautifully groomed and the cross-country area was gorgeous. Not sure what the riders thought of the course, but from a spectator point of view, I was able to see 80% of the course from my chosen vantage point. (The one draw back to this course is how flat it is - but you can't have everything!) In addition to the grounds improvements, there is now what seems to be a semi-permanent café for special events with typical horse-show foods (coffee, grilled food - like grilled cheese, pastries) - and another Coffee trailer was also on the grounds (with delicious butter tarts by the way), so I hope this trend keeps up. I was there for a Horse Trial, which tends to be lower key than Hunter Jumper, Stadium Jump and Dressage - I can only imagine that more horse-related vendors show up at the bigger shows. Very glad to see such great things happening here.

Around Christmas they hold "Magic of Lights" at Wesley Clover Park. This year it is November 21,…read more2019 - January 4, 2020, every night 5pm-10pm. Magic of Lights is a drive through light display. It's $20-30 a car, depending on day of the week (more expensive on weekends) and method of payment (cheaper if you buy in advance online, more expensive if you pay cash at the entrance). You can also tune into MAJIC 100.3 FM on your radio to hear Christmas music while you drive through the lights show. I did Magic of Lights with my husband and father-in-law. It was fun to do once, but I don't think that I would do it again, especially considering the cost. They had different themes through the display such as fairy tales/nursery rhymes, Nativity scene, the 12 Days of Christmas, Christmas around the world, and a few others. I think its something I would have enjoyed more if I was a kid. I have never been to Wesley Clover Park except for the Magic of Lights. However, the park is a campground. You can also do cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, field sports, and horseback riding there too.
