Departures
Our shuttles depart from Emily Murphy Park (south shore of the river) at 10am sharp.
Drive into the park and turn left at the T-intersection. We meet in the parking lot next to the Groat Road Bridge. From there you and your gear will be transported by van to Devon. We anticipate arrival at Devon at approximately 11 am. You will begin your journey down river at your leisure.
