Description
All the fun of our regular half-day Grand River canoe trip now offered at night! There's no better way to experience the Grand River, than under a blanket of stars. And who says fire and water don't mix? Provided with tiki torches for the boats, we'll launch in the fading sun to watch the river transform as we paddle into the night. From Glen Morris to Paris we'll paddle a 12km stretch of river, learn about its cultural and natural history, play a few canoe games. Then let the river do the work while we break from paddling to lie back and gaze at the night sky or raft-up for an astronomy talk. No matter where your interest lies, Paddle the Grand is sure to be an educational experience for all outdoor enthusiasts.
Rate $48.00/person

Sample Itinerary
07:30: Meet at the Paris portage to sign in and arrange transport up to Glen Morris.
08:00: In Glen Morris, a brief discussion will be conducted by your guide(s) to review safe canoeing procedures and proper paddling techniques.
08:15:Once one the water, we just go with the flow. The gentle current will help us along as we paddle in the evening glow through Canada's unique and beautiful Carolinian Forest.
08:45: After a reminder from your guide(s) about river safety, we'll splish and splash through a couple of short stretches of easy moving water. By now the sun will be nearly set and the real experience begins.
10:15: We'll raft our boats together and let the river do the work, giving us a chance to lie back and gaze at the night sky; a time to wonder before the final stretch into Paris.
11:00: Our take-out is at the portage where we left our vehicles.
