Set Sail on the Grand River

Our adventure began at Canoeing the Grand, where the staff prepped us for our scenic paddle. Launching into the calm waters of the Grand River, we soaked in the summer beauty—lush greenery and sparkling waters made for a perfect backdrop. After a great workout, we treated ourselves to some ice cream available for purchase.

Soar Above Kitchener at Chicopee Tube Park

Next, we made our way to Chicopee Tube Park for some exhilarating ziplining! It was such a thrill and the aerial views of Kitchener were amazing. Gliding high above the landscape offered a fresh perspective on the city and its surroundings, making for some fantastic photo ops and lasting memories.

Savouring Local Flavours

After all that excitement, our appetites were roaring! Thankfully, Heaton Up the Grill Food Truck was right outside, serving up mouthwatering meals. I couldn’t resist the Spicy Pickle poutine—it was the perfect way to refuel after our day of adventure.

Extend the Fun with an Overnight Stay
