Two Person Yak Details

A two person yak is a super stable boat… we call it our two person non-tip yak!

If bringing young children a yak is a good choice with an adult steering in the back.

Like sitting in a lounge chair… the yak is not the fastest boat in the fleet… but very safe for non-swimmers.

Number of People per Boat: 2 per boat

Suggested Paddling Skills for this Boat: All skill levels!

Suggested Ages: 3 years and up

Suggested Weight: up to two x 300 lb person

This Boat Can Be Used On These Trips: Glen Morris and Paris routes

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!

Glen Morris to Paris Area Trip.  This Grand River route starts above Glen Morris at the ruins of an 1867 woolen mill and ends below the stone towers of the Three Sisters (about 3 km above Paris). It has about 1 km of easy splash to paddle, fresh water springs, an island to stop at and spots to swim,. The picnic area is at the end point where your vehicle is parked. Because the Grand River averages less then a meter deep in most spots… enjoyable for non-swimmers.
