You don't have to travel miles to get a wilderness experience. You can get up in the morning... drive an hour or so... and then there you are... out on a river doing it! But best of all... you can be in your own bed at night. This is an inexpensive day trip with minimum traveling... what could be better?
Take a guided rafting trip on the Grand River near Paris, Ontario to experience one of the best learning adventures around. You can travel down the river in total safety... paddling skills aren't required... size and age doesn't matter... and you can be right in the middle of it all... without getting wet!
On these rafting trips you can shoot the splash of swifts or leisurely float across pools. Everyone can jump out and swim when they want, even drink from freshwater springs.
Or you can do guided platform-raft fishing for smallmouth bass and rainbow trout. And there is wildlife to see... deer, beaver, mink, muskrats, blue herons, wild turkey and osprey.
Add a guide that takes you for short hikes to taste wild edible plants, see natural features and teaches native history... and everyone ends up with a full rounded day of everything.
The Grand River Rafting Company in Paris, Ontario offers these unique learning adventures. The theme of the company is "Experiencing Everything Together" and that's what they specialize in doing.
There is a camaraderie that occurs in the 8 person rafts that does not happen in canoes or kayaks. When you are done, you have been together in everything... and for most people that does not happen today. It leaves a good community feeling.
On the Grand River you can choose to do day trips or overnights. Overnight visitors can stay at the local River Ridge Bed & Breakfast accommodates groups & families of up to 12 people. This rustic countryside setting even has an outdoor hot tub & pool overlooking the valley...and the complimentary breakfast is gourmet! There is also camping nearby at the Brant Park and Pinehurst Conservation Areas.
Either way whether you come or stay... you will have a great time on the Grand River in Southern Ontario.
