Shuttled upstream – You will be shuttled upstream the Grand River to where your kayak route begins.

Why rent a kayak from Treks In The Wild?
What you can expect from us:
- Professional & Qualified Service
- Safety Focused
- Quality Equipment
We only rent quality equipment and we monitor the river and weather conditions daily to ensure our customers have a safe enjoyable experience. We won’t let any of our canoe and kayak rentals go out on the river if we feel conditions are unsafe. In short we won’t put profit ahead of customer safety.
Our canoe and kayak rentals are by the day, which means you don’t have to be back by a set time like some outfitters.
Please Note* Paddling times for the Grand River listed above are approximate, and can vary considerably due to fluctuations in water levels, weather conditions and paddling ability. When planning a route on the Grand River, please allow yourself extra time during periods of low water, inclement weather, windy conditions and for portages.
We rent quality boats:
- ClearWater Design – Manitoulin 13′ 6″ touring kayak
- Aqua Fusion – Liberty 13′ recreational kayak
Alternative pick-up and drop-off locations on the Grand River can be arranged, contact us for prices or make a reservation
