Ever dreamed of leaving your day job to pursue adventure full-time? Adam Merrifield did exactly that when he became the new owner of Grand Experiences Outdoor Adventure Outfitters in Paris, Ontario. His journey from occasional paddler to outfitting company owner perfectly embodies the transformative power of following your passion for the outdoors.

The Grand River flows through the heart of this conversation, described by Adam as "one of the best and longest continuous waterways in Ontario." While many of us might drive past this stunning river system without a second thought, Adam reveals its hidden potential as a playground for paddlers of all skill levels. From gentle family-friendly floats to adrenaline-pumping spring rapids, Grand Experiences has spent 28 years helping people discover this natural treasure.

Adam shares fascinating insights into the operations of an adventure outfitter – from managing a fleet of distinctive yellow canoes to ensuring safety with Paddle Canada certified guides. He explains how most adventures range from 2.5-4 hours, with options for multi-day trips complete with riverside camping. Whether you're looking to try kayaking, canoeing, rafting or tubing, there's an experience perfectly suited to your comfort level.
