When it was opened the trail was one of the first Ontario abandoned rail lines to be converted to recreational trail use. The Cambridge to Paris Rail-Trail was opened in 1994, and was the first section on the Trans Canada Trail built in this part of southern Ontario. For more information on this trail and others visit the Grand River Conservation Authority Website or view the PDF version of the trail brochure including map. Trails Take Flight The Grand River
The Grand River, a Canadian Heritage River, flows through Brant County and provides visitors with tremendous venue for canoeing, kayaking, rafting, fishing, and so much more! A beginner can enjoy aguided canoe or kayak opportunity on the Grand River, or take a raft to drift down as you enjoy the scenery. Between the months of June to September, the Grand is a superb venue for a leisurely trip. Guides can accompany you on your trip and are also available for instruction. The pro will appreciate the dynamics of the Grand throughout different seasons. As soon as the ice melts, and spring is in the air... the pro kayaker will enjoy the fast water of the Grand River. The Nith River (which meets the Grand in the town of Paris) also provides for fast water experiences.
