Expert guides teach basic paddling skills before guiding aquanauts down the Grand River past sylvan banks cloaked in fiery autumnal finery

Since the invention of inflation, prices for groceries have skyrocketed and rivers have become traversable. Enjoy the scenic side of economics with today's Groupon: for $38, you get a 2.5-hour guided Carolinian Forest Fall Colours kayak or canoe tour of the Grand River from Heritage River Canoe & Kayak Company, based in Brantford (a $79.95 value). The Carolinian Forest Fall Colours tours depart from Bean Park in Paris, and tours run at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on the following dates:

  • Saturday, October 1
  • Sunday, October 2
  • Saturday October 8
  • Sunday October 9
  • Monday October 10

    Heritage River, a member of the Ontario Recreational Canoeing and Kayaking Association, outfits water rovers with kayaks or canoes in order to lead them on guided tours down the picturesque Grand River, travelling from Paris to the Brant Conservation Area. A 30-minute introductory course acquaints aquanauts of all skill levels with the basics of fluvial navigation, including how to paddle effectively and how to read the river for troublesome signs or pedestrian fish crossings. Once paddlers have been sufficiently schooled, an adroit instructor guides cruisers on a safe and serene 2.5-hour Carolinian Forest Fall Colours tour. Scull past sylvan banks cloaked in fiery autumnal finery, treating eyes to optical banquets of red leaves, golden branches, and orange hunting vests worn by nervous trees. While skimming across the Grand River’s pristine surface, boaters can espy a variety of flora and fauna, such as ospreys, beavers, and red-tailed hawks. While Heritage River provides all the necessary equipment—including life jackets, safety kits, and paddles—tour participants are advised to wear weather-appropriate clothing and bring along hats, sunglasses, and water.

The tandem kayak was very uncomfortable (even for a young person with no back problems). Nicer kayaks with back support would be great, or if they warned prospective customers that a kayak may not be the most comfortable for the 2+ hour trip. Also, the trip was advertised as an eco-tour with commentary by a guide, however our guide did not provide much commentary on the local surroundings at all.

Let people know to meet in the park - instead of looking for a house number on Spencer Street. Advise people to bring water (let them know they can take it in a kayak) Let people know you head downstream and are taxied back.

You should probably be a bit more detailed in terms of safety - no asked if anyone in the group could swim -no one asked what level of experience the group had. It was a fun day and I recommend Heritage River to others.
