Rafting Trips on the Grand River . Cayuga
Open 7 days a week . April til November . Reservations Required
Our Cayuga paddle is a great family trip of swimming and rafting.
The Cayuga Route is the perfect Huck Fin rafting trip. It is a slower moving section of water with a panoramic view of the Grand River Valley. The rapids are gentle making it an excellent route for non-swimmers. Along the way you can drink from fresh water springs and visit an abandoned 1830 gypsum mine. Plus hike to a lookout, try wild edible plants, learn First Nation's history... even body surfing!
Bring your cameras... we supply waterproof bags!
Enjoy a unique guided adventure that is a "step up" from anything else offered in the valley!
Learn about the experiences of Lady Simcoe when living here in 1791... Splash in the coldness of Whiteman’s Creek… pass a Blue Heron rookery… watch birds of prey soar the skies.
Below is our interactive map of the activities you can experience along the Cayuga Route

The Cayuga Route is a 13 km long paddle. It takes about 3 to 5 hours. The river averages about 1 meter in depth with no fast rapids. It is about 50 meters wide. The river flows through a scenic forested setting with fresh drinking springs along the way.
There are many wild birds along the route. It is not a muddy river but has a visible stone bottom. There are no poisonous snakes and no biting insects while out on the river. There are lots of fish and wildlife... but seeing them is a challenge.
There are spots where you can stop for a picnic lunch... even a barbeque pit with an outhouse washroom. The river is safe to swim in but wear your shoes/sandals.

“For a top notch guided trip, look no further then Grand River Rafting. We have been on three wonderful excursions with them… a relaxing educational afternoon, a magical starlight trip… and a custom-designed rambunctious party trip with a scrumptious BBQ for 40 people. These folks know the river, know rafting and know quality customer service… call them!” W
