Designated an Exceptional Waterway the Grand River flows through Brantford and Brant County on it’s way to Lake Erie. With cold water entering the river from groundwater sources and Whiteman’s Creek, plus the characteristics of the river itself, the result is a good habitat for a wide range of species including northern pike, small mouth bass, walleye, and a even rainbow trout.
It is also home to several fish species at risk, such as the black redhorse and river redhorse which are found in few locations in Canada. From fly fishing to platform raft fishing, fish-erman have access to miles of shoreline to take advantage of excellent angling all along the Grand River.This area also offers an abundance of smaller creeks and ponds. Why not take the family to Mt. Pleasant Nature Park where you can fish the stocked trout ponds.

ciTy oF BraNTFord TrailsBrantford’s trail system began as part of the system of dikes built to protect the City from the seasonal flooding of the Grand River. In 1993, that network of paths was named in honour of the late Gordon C. Glaves, a prominent Brantford resident and community volunteer.

On Road Cycling Bicycling is permitted on city streets, however there are some streets that are recommended for bicycle use and are signed in different ways. A Bike Lane is a dedicated portion of the road for bicycle use. It is designated by pavement lane markings and bicycle symbol pavement markings as well and black and white signs. A Shared Use Lane is a wider than normal travel lane intended for motor vehicles and bicycles to share. There are bicycle symbol pavement markings, and black and yellow ‘Share the Road’ signs. Bicycle Routes are any road signed specifically to encourage bicycle use. They are marked with green and white bicycle signs. More cycling safety at www.brantford.ca
