Fast Water

Instructional Kayak Fast Water Trip

Just 1 hour west of Toronto Ontario Canada

The Nith River is an ideal place to have fun learning whitewater paddling. It's not a Northern Canadian Shield with large rocks in the rapids.  Instead the Nith is a Southern River with a flat gravel & shale river bed. Its rapids are created by Spring run-off & rain plus a big increase in elevation drop.  It starts calm with a 4 ft/mile elevation drop & builds to a 20 ft/mile drop, gradually speeding up & finishing with 3 kilometres of whitewater as it reaches Paris.. So you start out in slower water working on paddling skills with your instructor & you progress to faster moving water as your skills progress.   Instruction begins on shore with safety & paddle skills, then moves into the water to practice techniques. This course also teaches you to read the river, an important skill to have when tackling fast water.

The customer to instructor ratio is kept low (4 -5 people) to ensure each participant gets proper instruction. As you approach rapids, the instructor will ensure you're ready to tackle them.  Then let the fun begin!

There is nothing like the feeling you get from running a fast water river. It is exhilarating but also safe as you learn the skills taught in by your instructor. And the Nith is an awesome paddle it's beautiful near wilderness scenery. And a Hearty Lunch is Included!
