Welland Recreational Canal

Please join Ontario Adventure Rowing and the Don Rowing Club for the thirteenth annual Banana Belt Tour!

This is an excellent early season tour on the canal in Welland located in the heart of Southern Ontario’s “Banana Belt”.  The tour begins at the Welland International Flatwater Centre and proceeds north along the canal, under its many bridges, and turning around for the return trip once we come upon rapids near Highway 406.  Afterwards we get together at MT Bellies Tap & Grillhouse in Welland, a popular local establishment, for a bite to eat before heading home.
