We recently discovered that the Elora Gorge of the Grand River is the perfect, maybe even the best place in Southwestern Ontario to practice whitewater canoe skills. Join us on this day trip adventure and enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the gorge, the stunning waterfalls, as we try to sharpen our skills and improve our paddle strokes.
If you attempt this route please check the water levels and bring and wear safety equipment. A course in whitewater canoe skills is recommended. We did this route in September.
Elora Gorge water flow was low at 5.2m3/s below shand dam
