RIVERBUG RIDES :
One-man inflatable whitewater cata-rafts called RiverBugs are used to explore the Grand River between Fergus and Elora in guided trips called RiverBug Adventure Rides. This two-three hour on-water experience includes descending over 5 little waterfalls, rafting over 31 sets of rapids ( Class 1 to 2 ), passing numerous islands, rui

Transportation from our RiverBug Base of Operation at Bissell Park in Elora ( where one registers, gets fitted with equipment and meets one’s RiverBug Guides ) to Confederation Park in Fergus ( where the on-water Rides to Elora begin ) may involve bicycle riding, horse-drawn carriage rides and/or assorted shuttle vehicles.
