A good treasure can be hard to find!
For those of you coming out for tours, lessons, rentals or sales, please refer to our location page for driving directions and use our GPS co-ordinates 42o53’37.81” N 79o37’34.75”W
Please note that there is a sign at the intersection of Port Maitland Rd and Dover/Rainham Rd. At this intersection you need to turn RIGHT (westbound) if you are driving over the bridge.
Mapquest and Google maps are incorrect and will direct you the opposite direction towards the lake.
We hope that this will eliminate the confusion in finding us.
Come find the treasure that awaits you! New fall hours starting soon!

Dear Mom,
I am having a great time in MEXICO. The weather is great and the people are friendly! I can not believe the clothes I picked up at Grand River Kayak back home! I bought clothes from Outdoor Research, Ex-Officio, Kokatat and ISIS and they say I can get them year round! In their selection they have travel friendly convertible pants, shorts, skirts, UV protective and quick dry shirts, and wide brimmed rain and sun hats! This would make for a great gift for DADs birthday and Christmas! But if you’re not sure what “DAD the traveler” would like, get him the perfect gift.... a gift certificate! By the way, they suggested I pick up a pair of Vibram Five Finger KSO shoes for backpacking, ziplining, trekking, snorkeling among the rocks and coral, and walking on the beach! My feet have never felt better! Not sure when I’ll be home as my Ex-Officio underwear seem to last forever!

Ladies if you like Lululemon, you will LOVE ISIS! Made for the active women, you will always look fabulous and classy wearing clothing from ISIS! I’ve started wearing this line and love the way it looks and feels all the time. I am so excited about the next few seasons of clothing that I have brought in just for you! Come try it on!!!!!

This is a great opportunity to get out and meet new people, alleviate the stress of a long day, learn new skills and get into shape along the way ! Limited space available. Avoid disappointment, register early ! (Click Here for Schedule and Registration Info)

COULD THIS BE YOU?....of course!!!!
SUP (Stand Up Paddleboarding) is the newest craze in watersports and is growing faster than any other segment in the market. And it’s no wonder : one part surfing, one part kayaking = 100% fun ! And by the way did we mention an AMAZING abdominal workout! Summer six pack here I come!!
We have stand-up boards from Surftech, Imagine, and a convertible “hybrid” stand-up board from Ocean Kayak that converts from a stand-up board to a sit-on-top kayak simply by adding a seat and a second blade to the convertible SUP paddle.
Don’t get left out..... Catch the wave !
Now selling SUP, paddles and accessories! Classes and DVD’s available too!
