Flat Water
Instructional Canoe Flat Water LessonsJust 1 hour west of Toronto Ontario Canada |
||
| An introductory course where you learn as you paddle. This course starts on the pond-water above the dam at the Brant Conservation Area, which is a perfect spot to get accustomed to different paddling techniques without river current. Your instructor will teach safety and let you practice all the basic steering strokes.
We will then shuttle you upstream to Paris and you will begin your paddle down a gentle section of the Grand River while your instructor coaches. This is a very scenic section of the river and is very rich in history. Your instructor will show you how to read the river as well as how to spot rocks before you’re on top of them. You will also learn how to maneuver a canoe using such techniques as the "J" stroke and the "C" stroke, as well as drawing. When done, this course you will be able to paddle with confidence on gentle rivers. It may also pique your interest in the more daring fast water course! Cost 99$ /person. |
