Grand River Canoe Rentals
| CLICK TO BOOK NOW! |
Rent a canoe on the Grand River with no time limit.(You do have to be off 1 hour before sunset)
Open 7 days a week . April til November . Reservations Required.
We offer two basic routes the Paris or the Glen Morris... but you can add other sections of the Grand River to create longer trips.
Both of our routes offer an amazing wilderness setting.
The Paris Run is classified as our beginner run... it is 13km long. On this route is fresh spring water, an old mine from the 1830s, a riverside picnic area with washrooms and campsites, a 400m body surfing area and an early takeout point if you wish to cut 1 hour off your trip. This trip offers the highest chance of seeing turtles, blue herons and bald eagles. It also has an ice cold creek called Whitemans Creek... that you can really cool off in!
The Glen Morris Run is classified as intermediate... it is about 11km long. This canoe trip has about 6-7 short sections of fast water, 1km in total. The trip takes about 2.5-3.5 hours pending river current speed. This trip has porta potties at the beginning and end. There are fresh water springs along the way and an island to stop for lunch. This trip also goes through and ends at the Three Sisters... the oldest rail bridge from the 1850's... looks like something out of Lord of the Rings! There is a lookout on the top of the Three Sisters, which you can hike to from the river.
