the current Fishing Ontario, Recreational Fishing Regulations Summary.<br />
Dams<br />
It’s important to know when planning your activities along the Grand River to know there<br />
are two dams located within Haldimand County; north of Caledonia and in Dunnville.<br />
Whether fishing, paddling or boating, it is important to be educated on the hazards<br />
created by dams and to keep these hazards in mind as you enjoy the Grand River.<br />
Always be alert to changes in water levels, Paddlers also need to be aware of the location<br />
of the dams to ensure sufficient time to exit the river.<br />
Caledonia Dam<br />
Boat Launches<br />
Boating<br />
Boat launches and marinas are identified on the map.<br />
These include public and private boat launches and<br />
marinas along the river and lakeshore.<br />
Port Maitland<br />
Water Depths<br />
The Grand River and Lake Erie is a great place<br />
for boaters, however not all sections of the Grand<br />
River are suitable for power boats. The section of<br />
river between the Caledonia dam and Cayuga is<br />
too shallow for power boats. Dependent on river<br />
flow and water levels, north of the Caledonia dam,<br />
from Cayuga to the Dunnville dam and south of<br />
the Dunnville dam to Port Maitland/Lake Erie water<br />
depths can generally support power boats. Boaters<br />
should respect speed limits and no wake zones.<br />

Distance Between Access Points<br />

Expect an average paddling speed of 4 km/h, depending<br />
on river flow rates, wind speed and direction, etc.<br />

River Access<br />
Parking and paddling access locations exist in<br />
Caledonia, York, Cayuga, Dunnville and<br />
Port Maitland.<br />
Paddlers can access the Grand River or Lake Erie<br />
as identified on the map, and also through most<br />
Haldimand County Parks, Conservation Areas and<br />
Provincial Parks.<br />
Please note that these access points may have<br />
small banks to reach the river.<br />
Currents & Depths<br />
Please Note: Paddling near York can be<br />
unpredictable because of current and water levels –<br />
Paddlers may encounter short distances where it is<br />
too shallow to paddle.<br />
Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP)<br />
The fast growing sport of SUP is a great way to<br />
experience the Grand River and Lake Erie. SUP is<br />
one part surfing, one part kayaking and 100% fun!<br />
It offers an amazing full body workout and because<br />
you’re standing on the board you’re able to enjoy<br />
the water from a new perspective. James N Allen<br />
Provincial Park and Myrnam Beach are great places<br />
to get started on Lake Erie.<br />

Caledonia Fishing Platform<br />
The Fishing Platform in Caledonia provides barrierfree<br />
access to the Grand River for fishing & wildlife<br />
observation. The platform is accessible from Caithness St.<br />
West, on the Kinsmen Park Trail. Closest parking is located<br />
off Caithness Street across from Cameron Street.<br />
Construction of a Denil-type fishway inside the Byng Island Conservation Area was completed in 1994, and is<br />
one of the largest of its type in North America. It was designed to pass Walleye, Rainbow Trout, Pike and a variety<br />
of non-jumping warmwater species for which migration routes would otherwise be blocked by the Dunnville Dam.<br />
The fishway will also play a role in future efforts to restore Lake Sturgeon and Muskellunge to the Lower Grand<br />
River. Fishway monitoring is initiated at the onset of the spring Walleye and Rainbow Trout migration runs in late<br />
March, and continues until May. In anticipation of fall Rainbow Trout and Salmon migrations, monitoring resumes<br />
in the fall. To date, twenty-six species of fish have been captured in the monitoring basket at the fishway,<br />
including Walleye, Rainbow Trout, Pike, Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass, three types of sucker, Mooneye,<br />
Gizzard Shad, White Perch, White Bass, Chinook and Pink Salmon, Channel Catfish, Brown Bullhead, Black<br />
Crappie, Freshwater Drum, Longnose Gar, Bluegill, Carp and Quillback.<br />
Fly fishing in Caledonia<br />
Lake Erie<br />
Lake Erie’s beautiful shoreline offers<br />
countless opportunities such as boating,<br />
windsurfing, water skiing, scuba diving,<br />
swimming - or just relaxing and soaking up<br />
the sun on one of the beaches!<br />
Haldimand County is where the waters of the<br />
Southern Grand River meet Lake Erie<br />
offering visitors the experience of both “Grand River<br />
Country” and “Ontario’s South Coast.”<br />
Grand River<br />
For nearly 300 years, the Grand River has been used for<br />
commerce, power and recreation. Enjoy its charm and unique<br />
local flora and fauna that stem from being part of the only<br />
Carolinian Forest pocket left in Canada. The Grand’s varied<br />
resources, its historic echoes, cultural value and uniqueness as a<br />
river system are recognized nationally and internationally with its<br />
designation as a Canadian Heritage River.<br />
James N Allen Provincial Park<br />
A Canadian Heritage River<br />
The Grand River was designated a Canadian Heritage River in 1994. Its rich river culture has been preserved in<br />
the landscapes, buildings, bridges, mills and settlement patterns that still exist today. The excellence and diversity<br />
of recreation opportunities associated with the Grand River also contribute to the designation. Water quality has<br />
improved significantly over the past 60 years. Some of the activities residents and visitors enjoy include hiking,<br />
paddling and fishing on the Grand.<br />
Enjoy this Canadian Heritage River by car or motorcycle<br />
by following the Grand River Scenic Parkway along<br />
Highway 54, Haldimand Road 17 & Haldimand Road 11<br />
all the way to Port Maitland.<br />
