Combine the beauty of touring the waters of the Grand River Valley with the fun of a team paddling expedition, and you’ve got one great outing for your Corporate Team. We can accommodate up to 150 paddlers and up to 75 additional 3rd passengers.

Canoeing the Grand provides everything you need for your trip including canoes, paddles, life jackets and options such as a pre-paddle instructional breakfast or lunch after the trip in our picnic grounds. We also provide a scavenger hunt checklist to help engage paddlers in their natural surroundings during the trip. All you supply is elbow grease and a positive attitude!

For all trips, you park or bus to our location, we shuttle you up the river, then you paddle down the river (WITH the current) back to our location. We also provide the option of bus pick-up at your company parking lot at a pre-determined time.

Corporate Canoe Expeditions may be booked for any weekday from May 1 to October 31, 2012.

Is It Safe?

  That's the #1 question we get.
            Answer: Yes!
  (info)
Last season we provided nearly 4000 trips with no injuries and only a handful of people got wet (some quite intentionally, to beat the heat!). The average depth of the Grand in our service area is 3 feet deep. So even if you do somehow tipacanoe, just stand-up! We also provide pre-trip safety and paddling instruction.

  Enjoy your beautiful trip!


Every corporate participant will receive a customized keepsake group photo, ready by the end of their Expedition, at no charge.
