The Final Days of Summer Tubing on the Grand
Late August brings a distinct rhythm to the Grand River. The water remains warm, the midday heat is dialed in, and the scenic stretch between Kitchener and Bingemans settles into prime, effortless float conditions. It has been an incredible season on the water, but the window to drift down the river is quickly coming to a close.
Our Kitchener tubing run from Joseph Thompson Park to Bingemans officially winds down after Labor Day weekend, making this Saturday the time to lock in your final float of the summer.
