More about this event: Big Creek: near the town of Port Rowan, Norfolk County, Southern Ontario. Explore the wild close to home. Big Creek is Canada’s southernmost wilderness style paddling route & closer than you think. A very intimate paddle - this narrow winding river flows through the remote little known area in southern Ontario including Big Creek National Wildlife and Long Point World Biosphere. Paddling Big Creek feels like the Amazon with the thick Carolinian Forest resembling a Rain Forest, and deep, slow moving water flowing under the canopy of trees. Our day of paddling concludes with a visit to New Limburg Brewing Company; transforming an old school into a microbrewery looking to bring the best Belgian style ales to Norfolk County. Our day schedule might be: Please contact event organizer if you wish to use your own boat/gear and/or paddleboard. There will still be a transportation/shuttle cost. This event is co-hosted and will be guided by Grand Experiences - one of the leading canoe & kayak training centers in Southern Ontario. They work with schools, scouts & guides, corporate groups & individuals to provide canoe, river kayak & sea kayak training. They are fully insured on the road and the water. All guide staff is certified in first aid/CPR and The Ontario Recreational Canoeing & Kayaking Association (ORCKA) certifies our wilderness guides and instructors. | |||||||
