SAFETY
- All renters must sign a waiver upon arrival to rent equipment.
- River tubing takes place in a natural river. Extreme conditions are possible which are beyond our control. Some sections of the river are fast-flowing. Your safety is in your own hands.
- The safest position to ride down the river is to sit on your bottom, feet first. Be vigilant at all times by constantly looking downstream for obstacles to avoid – rocks, trees and other river debris.
- Personal flotation devices and helmets must be worn at all times. A properly fitted PFD and helmet is “comfortably snug.” Children must be accompanied by an adult.
- If you capsize do not panic. Do not attempt to stand up while in a rapid. Situate yourself on your back with your feet downstream allowing your PFD to keep you afloat. As you float out of the rapid, your head, knees, and toes will be above the water until you reach safety.
- Only one rider on each tube. No pets allowed. Don’t tie tubes together while going through any rapids.
- Be prepared to get wet. Sunscreen, closed toed footwear, a swimsuit, and a head strap for eyeglasses is recommended.
RECOMMENDED TUBING LOCATIONS
Elora Gorge
Elora Gorge/Grand River Conservation Area
About an hour and 45 minutes from Toronto, this beautiful natural area is home to the Grand River, which rushes past 22-metre high cliffs. There are trails with scenic routes for hiking with views of the water below where tubers and kayakers make their way down the waterway.
Tubing closes when river levels are too high so be sure to check the beach and tubing conditions before leaving.
Online registration is now required for tubing, meaning you will have to purchase tickets online in advance. Park admission is separate and must be paid upon entry at the gate.
Grand River
Grand River Rafting
Located just one hour away from Toronto, Grand River, which runs through Paris, Ontario, offers two tubing routes (either 11 or 13 km long) to choose from. You’ll be floating down the river for about three to five hours so come prepared for a long, lazy ride.
