Generally, the Grand is navigable from Elora to Port Maitland.

Here are some highlights of the areas of Grand River Country:

• The Elora area offers the Gorge for white-water enthusiasts, and downstream from the gorge through West Montrose to the village of Conestogo, pleasant waters that are ideal for all experience levels.
• The setting becomes more natural traveling through the Brantford area as rare Carolinian forests line the river then sweeps around the Brant Park Conservation area before going through the city.
• After Brantford, and on the way to Six Nations territory, untouched nature leads to historic sites such as the Bell Homestead and Chiefswood.
• As the river enters Haldimand County, it broadens and slows and recreational activity increases - motor boats, sea planes, canoeists and anglers share the space.
• The river ends its journey and enters Lake Erie at the newly restored Port Maitland.
