Canoeing & Kayaking

The Township has about 55km of the Nith River winding throughout the countryside. Currently there are canoe and kayak access points located on the south side of the bridge on Oxford County Road 42 south of Plattsville and on the north side of County Road 29 across from the east entrance of Clarks Road. As the river goes through high and low water levels throughout the year caution should be taken by the canoeists at all times while planning their trip.
