Beaver River paddling experience

including a Gourmet PicNic lunch

Beaver River Paddling Experience

Only 25 minutes from the B&B, the Beaver River runs through the scenic Beaver Valley. Part of the Great Lakes Basin, the river is under the auspices of Grey Sauble Conservation. Craig and I have done some kayaking down this calm and beautiful river, and it is beautiful in any season. There is plenty of wildlife, including birds, turtles, beavers (of course), and more. A great canoe or kayak adventure for any level of paddler. You chose which kind of boat you want. Individual kayaks or a canoe-for-2.

Free Spirit Tours will supply you with everything you need for your 1.5 -2 hour paddle. You can park your car at the Free Spirit tours location near Heathcote and they will shuttle you to the start of your tour. You will paddle back along the scenic Beaver River to where you parked your car. We will send you a map of these locations once your tour time is confirmed with us.

Just down the road from your paddle departure point is the lovely hamlet of Heathcote. In Heathcote, you must stop at the Blackbird Pie Company and pick up some homemade butter tarts. OMG – so good!

We will make and pack your personal picnic lunch an hour or two before your tour, so everything is fresh. Everything you need is right inside the knapsack! The waterfront in Thornbury is just 15 km north of your paddling location. The views of the Georgian Bay are terrific – a great spot for your lunch! A great afternoon outing.

You can choose to have your paddle on day one or day two of your stay. You don’t need to be checked in to the B&B to enjoy your paddle. We can arrange for you to get your boat earlier in the day of your arrival. Just pick up your lunch at the B&B, and away you go! We’re happy to iron out all of the details. Once we get your reservation, we will be in touch.
