Port Hope Visitor Guide 2019
This is a place where you can slow down. If the weekend was a place, if the weekend was a philosophy, a conversation, a memory – this is where it would be. Port Hope is a place where you can shake hands with a farmer, snuggle a goat, take a dip in a cool lake, eat a meal fresh-picked from a local field, and breathe it all in. There’s room here. There’s quiet. There’s slow. And there are more ways to enjoy your day than weekends in a year. Come enjoy craft food, drinks and sunsets by the water. Explore quaint streets and scenic country roads. It’s the weekend.

Get your wetsuit on and grab your paddle! Come join the wildest river race and float<br />
down the mighty Ganaraska River and over the rapids to the finish line. This is <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Hope</strong>’s<br />
rite of spring every April, a 10-kilometre paddle for kayaks, canoes and more than 60<br />
homemade “crazy crafts” in the Float Your Fanny Down the Ganny race. It commemorates<br />
the big flood of 1980, when the river rose and flooded the downtown streets. Hundreds of<br />
people helped to clean up the aftermath.<br />
