Grand River ~

"The Grand River rises near the village of Dundalk, Ontario near Georgian Bay and flows 290 kilometres to Lake Erie, dropping 352 metres through pastoral farmland and the historic communities of Guelph, Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Paris, Brantford, [Caledonia], Cayuga and Dunnville.  The entire Grand River watershed of 6,965 square kilometres, including its tributaries the Nith, Conestogo, Speed and Eramosa, was nominated to the CHRS in January 1990, and designated in January 1994, for natural heritage including glacial potholes, wetlands and wildlife, and scenic and natural beauty in gorges and canyons of the Niagara Escarpment, cultural and historic value of early Canadian settlement, and recreational opportunity."
