Welcome to Grand Valley Trails

For all recent updates and announcements, please continue to check our Announcements page.


Join friends and fellow hikers at the upcoming AGM


Join the GVTA  Annual General Meeting on May 12 and hear local historian Bob Rennie speak on "Laura Secord’s Walk Into History."  Space is limited. Members are encouraged to register here.


Obtain a pass to the Elora Gorge Conservation Authority

Thanks to an agreement between the GVTA and the Grand River Conservation Area, the GVTA runs a portion of the trail in the Elora Gorge Conservation Area.  If you are planning to hike through the Elora Gorge park this season, you need a pass.  A limited number of free passes are made available to GVTA members through our Store (passes coming soon!).
  As a member of the GVTA, please remember to adhere to all park rules, specifically make sure to enter only at designated entry points and only during regular operating hours from May 1 to October 15. 

Don't forget to renew your membership

A reminder that this is the time of year when most GVTA memberships are up for renewal. If you have not renewed yours yet, there is still time to renew. As a volunteer organization, we depend on your membership to help maintain the trails, offer organized hikes and manage the association overall. Please consider renewing now.
 

Guided hikes and self-guided hikes: we offer both!

We offer self-guided routes to explore all year.  New guided hikes, led by our Hike Ontario certified leaders, are posted regularly. Check back often to join a guided hike. If you prefer to plan your own hike, Grand Valley Trails also publishes a trail guidebook with maps, detailed descriptions of trails, points of interest, parking info and so much more. Visit our store to purchase a copy or to find a local retailer.
