PR9.NET March 13, 2007 - Canada, Toronto - Every spring the Grand River Rafting Company offers family whitewater rafting on the Nith River. This little known river is one of the biggest surprises in Southern Ontario. Every spring between April and early May this lazy river becomes a spring flume ride of splash.

These guided rafting trips on the Nith River start out in a wilderness setting banked by high clay bluffs treed with the Carolinian Forest. The narrowness of the river brings the shoreline close... creating excellent wildlife viewing. It is not uncommon to see deer, fox, beaver and wild turkey. Further downstream are cascading drinkable springs and rare limestone rockery.

This 4 to 5 hour trip culminates with a three kilometer run of splash into the Grand River in Paris. From this point the Nith River gathers speed creating a fun thrill of standing waves and waterslides that the rafts easily bounce through and families totally enjoy.

The guided eight person rafts offer a trip of stability and safety. Size, age, agility and skill do not matter… the self-bailing guided whitewater rafts are very safe and easy to manage. This unique spring ride offer a fun taste of whitewater rafting for families, schools and corporate groups.

The cost for the 4 hour whitewater rafting trip with lunch included is around $65 per person. Children are welcome and the trip is user friendly for the beginners. The Nith River is easily accessible by major highways and is about a one hour drive west of Toronto.

If looking for a whitewater rafting experience in Southern Ontario… where river time exceeds traveling time… a spring rafting trip on the Nith River is worth the visit.
