We are the only company to raft this exclusive run, the Cayuga Run, starting from our docks on the river in historic Downtown Paris, travelling down river a full 14 kilometres to our 2nd location on the river in scenic Brant Conservation Area.
The Cayuga Float rafts through many points of historic interest. Your guide will introduce you to the Grand River Valley, drink from springs, shoot over the famous Bloop, visit an 1850 gypsum mine,learn the native history, pass a large heron rookery, hike to the Black Walnut Trail lookout, experience the coldness of Whiteman’s Creek, body surf, see a red tail hawk nest,swim, and see the remains of an old corduroy road. Our family rafts are a great way to spend a day together.
Even though the Grand River is only 3 feet deep on the average, this is a perfect trip for those not comfortable in a canoe or kayak. Our 14 ft rafts are totally stable, and easy to paddle. These rafts are excellent for family day adventures.
