Designated an Exceptional Waterway the Grand River flows through Brantford and Brant County on it’s way to Lake Erie. With cold water entering the river from groundwater sources and Whiteman’s Creek, plus the characteristics of the river itself, the result is a good habitat for a wide range of species including northern pike, small mouth bass, walleye, and a even rainbow trout.

It is also home to several fish species at risk, such as the black redhorse and river redhorse which are found in few locations in Canada. From fly fishing to platform raft fishing, fish-erman have access to miles of shoreline to take advantage of excellent angling all along the Grand River.This area also offers an abundance of smaller creeks and ponds. Why not take the family to Mt. Pleasant Nature Park where you can fish the stocked trout ponds.

A Bike Lane is a dedicated portion of the road for bicycle use. It is designated by pavement lane markings and bicycle symbol pavement markings as well and black and white signs.
