This is our longest trip. The river averages 1 meter deep with 2 meter deep pools. This section of river has moving water with over 10 easy rapids.

We do not advise doing this section for beginners.

The Cambridge start point has a washroom and variety store. Paddling from an open farmland setting into a wilderness setting is spectacular. There is spring water and swimming areas.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ARE ALLOWED ON THE RIVER.

Grand River Rafting reserves the rights to inspect all bags and coolers being brought on trips. If alcoholic beverages are found, you will be asked to kindly return the beverages to your vehicle. If someone refuses inspection or refuses to leave alcoholic beverages behind, they will not be allowed to go on the river… and there will be no refund.
