<strong>BRANT</strong> <strong>PARK</strong><br />
About the park<br />
Brant Park is nestled in a bend on the Grand<br />
River amid the historic communities of Brantford<br />
and the County of Brant. It is a great place to spend<br />
a weekend camping, or an afternoon enjoying sun<br />
and fun at our 1.25 acre swimming pool.<br />
Anglers can try the waters surrounding the park, or<br />
make the short trip to Whitemans Creek. Hikers and<br />
bikers can travel the many pathways through the<br />
park or pick up the S.C. Johnson Rail Trail, which<br />
links Paris and Brantford. Many canoeists stop, or<br />
stay overnight, when making a trip down the Grand<br />
River.<br />
Our staff is here to make your visit as enjoyable as<br />
possible. Should you have questions, please do not<br />
hesitate to contact us.<br />
Camping, fishing, hiking or boating, our parks<br />
are as close as your own backyard.<br />
Join us at one of 11 Grand River Parks. From quiet<br />
solitude to the delight of a family camping<br />
vacation, our parks showcase the best the area has<br />
to offer.<br />
Brant Park is open between May and October from<br />
8 a.m. until sunset, or camp with us overnight. For<br />
more information including fees, park amenities or<br />
to reserve equipment or group facilities, please ask<br />
at the gatehouse, call the park, or visit<br />
