WELCOME TO GRAND RIVER KAYAK
- KAYAK, CANOE & SUP OUTFITTERS -

WATER TEMPERATURE UPDATE : SATURDAY, MAY 11th
Water temperature taken from the Lower Grand River in front of our place, at a depth of approx. 3 feet. Today’s temperature is 17 degrees C, which means we are officially OPEN for tours, lessons and rentals without the need for wetsuits or drysuits. PLEASE NOTE, this does not mean that the water is WARM, it just indicates that the temperature is no longer considered “dangerously cold”. Proper precautions in case of accidental immersion should still be taken.

At a time when “customer service” is sadly lacking at big box retailers who pay their staff minimum wage and encourage minimum results, we’ll show you the difference personalized attention by experts makes.  Shopping for a kayak is no different than shopping for a car – there’s more to it than picking a colour and looking for the lowest price! Let us guide you through the process of making sure you make the right purchase for YOU! What kind of kayak do you want? What kind of kayak do you NEED? Where do you plan to paddle? WHEN do you plan to paddle? Is this something you plan to do for relaxation, or are you looking for something more?

Our instructors and guides are Paddle Canada or ORCKA Certified. Our focus is on your safety and enjoyment on the water. We use quality gear, and provide our customers with the right equipment for their on-water activities, whether it be a lesson, rental or a guided tour, and whether you’re paddling a kayak, a canoe or a stand up paddleboard!

Welcome to Grand River Kayak!
