Explore the Grand River for a weekend or weekday paddle with our guided all-inclusive camping package... a guided wilderness and historical journey with the opportunity to camp with a kayak. On the first day paddle the historical Cayuga Run to the Brant Conservation campsite. Your campsite is fully equipped with everything including meals. The next day paddle the wilderness Oneida Run. Our hearty Tripper lunches are supplied both days.

Day one is the guided Cayuga Run which is the historical route of the valley. It starts at our store front dock on the Grand River.

(4-5hour hike/paddle).

Your campsite on the river has everything... tents, air beds, lanterns, cooking utensils, iced cooler with supper & breakfast, and the river is right there for an evening paddle or bass fishing.

The next morning we paddle the pristine Oneida Run. Let our guides make the rare Carolinian Forest of the Grand Valley come alive... see what you would normally miss! This section is the gem of the Grand River... the 300 yr old sycamore tree... climb bluffs overlooking the valley... hike on the interior trails to learn plants, fauna and wildlife... hear about the native and settlement history of the valley... paddle the kilometre of splashing waves... lunch on an island... float the current... see the river-rock with a spring in it... the ancient tree house... the amazing Noah's Ark... slip past the silent Three Sisters... thread the Eye of the Needle... behold the beauty of Southern Ontario’s near wilderness.
