Family friendly whitewater rafting

For a calmer water adventure, try a gentle family float trip on the Madawaska River or a family rafting tour on the quieter channels of the Ottawa River.

The Grand River flows from Grey County, south of the Georgian Bay down through the rural countryside of southwestern Ontario and empties into the north shore of Lake Erie. Portions of the Grand, such as Elora Gorge or around Paris, offer fun tubing and rafting rapids.

What to bring whitewater rafting

Ontario’s whitewater rafting companies will outfit you with the necessary safety gear including wet or dry suits and size you with the right paddle.

In addition to that you may want to bring pocket sized sunscreen, chapstick and a water bottle with a clip or carabiner that can be attached to the raft.

Wear quick drying and breathable clothes, sturdy, closed-toes shoes, hats and sunglasses with straps and if you’re bringing a camera or phone, waterproof it and secure it to your body. Avoid cotton as it gets cold when wet.

When you finish your adventure, you will want to have a bag to put your wet attire as well as dry clothing to change into.
