Video Rating: / 5

Get ready to get your adrenaline on. This place has multiple attractions. Some not for the faint of heart. Like the hundred foot free fall or the tower zip lines. But don’t worry, there’s plenty to do for everyone. Maybe your mildly adventurous. There are two sets of rock walls, one even plunges into a pool. And some smaller rope courses as well as lower zip lines. Oh, You’re looking for just a casual day outdoors. No problem. You can check out a kayak or paddle board Head down to the Catawba River for a nice float. Or pick up one of the bikes and have a nice ride on one of the many trails. If you just want to relax. Towards the end of the day they start playing great live music. With the music, a little food and beverage and the water running in the background. It all makes for a great end of the day.

Tips & Tricks-
1) Book your whitewater rafting tour right away. You can book the first available tour at no cost. If you want to book more at the same time it’s extra. But once you complete the ride you can rebook at no charge.

2) It’s gets hot 🥵 in the summer. There are no fans. Shade – Sunscreen – WATER!!!

3) They allow GoPro’s as long as they are securely mounted on the helmet. And you will be checked at quite a few checkpoints.

PS. If any management happens to see this. First I want to say thank you so much for allowing GoPros to come in and record. That made this video possible. second, I would like to say the staff was extremely polite and very well trained. I felt safe with the multiple checkpoints. And the entire park was clean and staff well organized. If there were any improvements that I could see as an outsider. They would be. Fans Misting Fans even better. Especially up on the towers with your employees. But you’re doing an amazing job. Thank you!

A Day at Grand River Rafting

lifestyle No Comments »

How it works…

1) Park at the end point of your trip…
2) Get equipped with all safety equipment, jackets and paddles…
3) Do an orientation talk and take a picture of the map…
4) Next, catch a shuttle upstream to your boat…
5) At the launch we help you get into your boat and review any questions…
6) Then take your time paddling back to your vehicle.
7) At the end we take the boat and equipment… and you are home-free to go!

Easy as that!!!!!

The Grand River is shallow and great for first time and non-swimmers… water temperature is 20-24C.

Choose from up to 9 different types of boats.

Prices are all inclusive… just bring yourself, lunch & personals… we look after everything else!

Located near Paris, Ontario… half way between London and Toronto.

We have 3 trips on the Grand River near Paris… the 5km Five Oaks Trip… the 11km Glen Morris Trip… and the 13km Paris Trip.

We also offer one more paddling route 1 hour away near Long Point on Lake Erie, this is called the Canadian Amazon.

For hourly and day rentals we have two locations at Guelph Lake near Guelph… and at Brant Park near Brantford.

I’m back with Roy from Vintage Axe Works learning what to look for when choosing an axe. He has some great pointers of what to avoid when looking at old axes and what you should look for. He restores a TON of old axes, so he knows a thing or two about finding great axes!
