Whatever you love about the outdoors, you can find it in the Grand River watershed. 

  • Go camping on one of the 2,200 sites at Grand River Conservation Areas.
  • Enjoy world-class fishing whether you're after trout, walleye or bass.
  • Spend a leisurely hour or two on the water in a canoe or kayak, let the wind carry you across the water in a sailboat, or spend a day fishing for a prize catch in a power boat.
  • Hike and bike along dedicated, off-road trails linking the picturesque cities and towns of the Grand River watershed.
  • Go swimming in a pond, quarry, lake or some of Ontario's largest swimming pools. Go birdwatching at Luther Marsh where you can see species seldom seen in other parts of Canada.
  • Indulge your passion for winter sports: ice fishing, cross-country skiing or snowshoeing. 

Stay safe

Make safety your priority. It's important to remember that our conservation areas are natural spaces, and safety should always be top of mind when venturing outdoors. Read about water safety, safety around dams, and other safety information on topics such as ticks, severe weather and more.
