Monday, May 1 at 9 a.m. is the official opening of the 2017 camping and recreational season at Grand River Parks.
The Grand River Conservation Authority operates 11 Grand River Parks, eight of which offer camping, with about 2,500 campsites, and they will all open for the 2017 season. Other activities include hiking, fishing, canoeing, kayaking and swimming.
The parks that are opening on Monday are Byng Island (Dunnville), Brant (Brantford), Pinehurst (Paris), Conestogo (Drayton), Guelph Lake and Elora Gorge. Belwood Lake, Laurel Creek (Waterloo), Rockwood and Shade’s Mills (Cambridge) were already open for activities, but now they will be providing the broader range of services. One other park, Elora Quarry, will open in mid-June when the weather is warmer for swimming.
