Tubing the Grand River

Please note the only way to register for this adventure is on our website.

This is one of our most popular adventures every year: sweet summertime relaxation through the beautiful Grand River. Just lay back, enjoy and let the current take you along this scenic journey.

Life along the Grand River moves at a pace that invites you to disconnect from city stress and be present. This 5 km float from Five Oaks to Brant Park runs entirely through a natural corridor: no shops, no crowds and no paddling required if the current's running well. The water is shallow with a gentle current and a gravel bottom, so it's a solid first river experience even if you've never done anything like it before.

Tubes take most people around 2 hours, with plenty of spots along the way to hop off for a swim. We wrap up the day with a group picnic lunch at Brant Park once you're off the water.

Bring shoes you don't mind getting wet, sunscreen, and snacks. This will be a sun filled day to remember!

Highlights
Tubing the Grand: Kick back and let the current do the work. The Grand River's easy flow and shallow gravel bottom make for a laid-back float that anyone can enjoy
Picnic lunch at Brant Park: The float ends at Brant Park Conservation Area, where we pull out our packed lunches and decompress h in the shade.
River Swimming: Plenty of spots to pull over and jump in along the way. On a warm day, it's hard to stay in the tube.

Event cost: $75+HST - $50 optional transport available.

About Wilderness Union
Wilderness Union is deliberate about building an outdoors community that connects you to the life-changing magic of the outdoors and helps you find your people.

Members range from 20-40 years old. The group is a mix of GTA locals and newcomers to Toronto from within Canada and abroad.

Attendance numbers on Meetup don't reflect our actual event attendance - we typically have 15-20 community members at each event. Large enough that there's someone new to meet but small enough that it's not overwhelming!
