Spring Whitewater Rafting Southern Ontario

Open 7 days a week . Reservations Required . March til November

We raft the Nith River from the end of March until the start of May.

It can only be rafted after spring melt when there is lots of water. It is a narrow river of pools and swifts and only about 1 meter deep. Near the end of the trip the river has a signifigant elevation drop offering about 1 km of fun splash with waves 2-3 ft high. An excellent beginner and family splash paddle.

Wet suits are not required or really needed, but splash protection gear is given to the two people in the front of the raft.

We also offer an easy fun splash from April to October on the Grand River with our Guided Oneida Trip. 

The Nith can be rafted during the summer and fall after a heavy rain. For those wishing a summer or fall whitewater experience please visit our River-Rat Club for more information.

 

On this trip we meet in Paris... shuttle you upstream... and you paddle back to your vehicle.

The Nith River winds through an amazing 15 km section of wilderness beauty with towering cliffs and quietness.

Wildlife can sometimes be very prevelant on the rafting trips... we have seen wild turkeys, bobcat, fox, deer, osprey, beaver, mink, heron and lots of song birds.
