Paddling near London, Ontario

London sits in Southwestern Ontario where the North Thames, Middle Thames, and South Thames rivers converge at the Forks of the Thames in the city's downtown core. The Thames River — a designated Canadian Heritage River — is the backbone of local paddling, with canoe and kayak routes running through the city and out into the surrounding countryside. Fanshawe Lake to the northeast and the stretch downstream toward Delaware are among the most-used corridors.
