Paris to Brant Park Trip - 13 km

Paris to Brant Park Grand River School Trip Map

Paris to Brant Park Trip. With all our trips, you park where your trip ends… and we shuttle you upstream. This trip shuttles you into the picturesque town of Paris. The Paris to Brant Park trip is considered our most gentle paddle. There is a section of fast moving water at the start, followed by more placid waters. It has a picnic site with washrooms along the way, fresh water springs, an old 1830’s mine shaft and spots to swim. Great route for non-swimmers to try!

Date and Rates

Important Info

What to Bring:

  1. Good sunscreen, hat, sun glasses, retainer string for eye glasses, water & snacks, gloves if hands blister easily, lip balm.
  2. Bring footwear you don’t mind getting wet… the river bottom is rocky.
  3. If you burn easy… long sleeves and pants… otherwise swim suits or clothes that dry quickly. Denim jeans are not a good idea… they stay wet forever!
  4. If cooler weather… dress in layers so you can strip down as you get hot.
