What a day after the several months organizing the new project with the help of the Dufferin Rural Community Centre, and the Agricultural Society. We are very excited to offer this new program at Prospect Park to the Town of Halton Hills.

“We’re pleased to have this service offered to local residents” said Mayor Rick Bonnette. “Canoeing on Fairy Lake offers families a great opportunity to learn more about nature while enjoying this amazing resource and being active.”

Visit the Town of Halton Hills- for the official Media release.

We will be reporting back to the town at the end of season and hope that this paddling season will bring lots of great memories for everyone. It is our hope the townspeople will enjoy this new safe fun family program that all kids will enjoy!

We have visitors from all over the provinces and the United States come and visit us at the Acton facility. With that a lot of people ask where can they go for their first paddle, and we always direct them to Fairy Lake, a five minute drive from the shop. For an Halton Hills visitors guide click here.

Wednesday July 9th, there is a Geocaching Fairy Lake Paddle event. For all the Geocachers, the GPS coordinates for the Canoe Rental location are:
N 43 degrees 37.768 minutes
W 080 degrees 02.761 minutes

Visit the Geocaching website for more information on this terrific modern day treasure hunt that the kids are sure to love.
