The Ottawa River was the easiest way of transporting logs from the Ottawa Valley to Quebec, using timber cribs or rafts. Huge logs were squared in the bush and then assembled into cribs, on the river. Each crib would consist of about 25-30 logs. Then the cribs, up to 100 of them, were then joined together into a long raft. These rafts were where the lumbermen lived during their long journey down the river to Quebec City. These trips could take 1 or more months depending on many factors including the size of the rafts, weather, etc.
