The Grand River is a major waterway that stretches nearly 280 kilometers through the southern part of Ontario. It winds past farmland, forests, and historic towns before flowing into the Lake Erie. There are multiple ways to enjoy what the river has to offer such as hiking long-distance routes like the Grand Valley Trail, or paddling peaceful river stretches with access from several points. Wildlife is also abundant along its banks, making it a great pick for a nature-focused outing.
