Need a little more adventure in your life? Summer is a great time to get outdoors and learn something new or explore a new place.

Here are a few that might be worth checking out:

Paddle the Grand River

Canoe, kayak, tube, or stand-up paddle board your way down the Grand River, about one hour west of Toronto. You can take a self-guided trip with a map or hire a guide. There are lots of different routes and boats to suit your level of experience – so don’t worry if you’ve never done it before.
