Merritt BC Coldwater River Trail

Although, Merritt BC Coldwater River Trail may sometimes be viewed as an urban trail, it will give you the experience of being out in the backcountry of the Nicola Valley. The shoreline river trail features an abundance of birdlife, tree's, benches to sit and view nature. And if lucky, you may spot a deer. 

Nicola Valley Coldwater River Walking Trail 

The Coldwater Trail is also called the Coldwater River Claybanks by local community locals.  The locals also referr to this as the Claybanks River swimming hole. Growing up here in the Nicola Valley has always been a seasonal hotspot for outdoor adventures.

Summer on the trail

During the summer, the iconic Claybanks that tower over the Coldwater River has always been a favourite spot to swim. Although the water  can be  a bit cloudy because of the soft clay and its gentle flowing current. This site has always been the starting gate for river tubbers. Merritt BC Coldwater River with its gentle currents and scenic beauty is truly a summer experience.

    Experience the Grandeur of Jones Falls Lock Station


    If you are searching for the crown jewel of Ontario’s waterways, you must watch video to witness the engineering marvel that is the Jones Falls Lock Station. This site is widely considered one of the most photographed locations in the region. Historically, the "Great Stone Arch Dam" was completed in 1831, and it stood as the highest dam in North America at nearly 60 feet. Today, the majestic flight of three lower locks is admired by visitors from around the world.


    Discover the History of the Rideau Canal


    Furthermore, the rugged spirit of the 19th century is preserved within this UNESCO World Heritage site. The Rideau Canal was constructed between 1826 and 1832, during which time massive limestone blocks were laid by hand to conquer the wild landscape. Consequently, a defensible lockmaster’s house was added in 1841 to protect the Rideau from potential invasion. While you explore, the old blacksmith shop and Sweeney House can be toured to get a true sense of early pioneer life.


    Explore the Hiking Trails and Scenery of the Rideau Locks


    Additionally, the surrounding scenery provides a perfect backdrop for a weekend escape. Lush hiking paths and a scenic trail are offered to those who wish to wander past the legendary Hotel Kenney. Because the locks have been kept largely in their original state, a vivid connection to the past is felt by every traveler. Meanwhile, the flat-water routes of nearby Morton are enjoyed by paddlers seeking peace. Ontario history is waiting for you at the water's edge; don't miss out.

    80 Years Young. Still Chasing the Horizon. This Tuesday, March 31st, something special rolls onto your speakers.

    Host Canada Adventure Seeker Jesseca Perry sits down with Robert Fletcher.
    And Robert is not slowing down. Not even close. At 80 years old, he is gearing up to cycle across Canada. Again.

    From White Rock, British Columbia on June 12.
    To St. John’s, Newfoundland by September 15.

    Mountains. Prairies. Lake Superior’s rugged edge.
    The long stretch along Lake Ontario.
    Up through Ottawa. Across Quebec. Then east through New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Cape Breton.
    And finally, the ferry to Newfoundland.

    It is not just a ride.
    It is a statement.

    Fifty thousand kilometres already behind him. Four continents.
    And still chasing what is next.

    Supported by family. Joined by fellow riders along the way.
    Powered by grit that most of us only talk about.

    This episode is about endurance.
    About purpose.
    About proving that adventure does not come with an expiry date.

    Listen now and follow the journey

    BIG OPPORTUNITY for SMALL TOWN CANADA

    We have an opportunity to put SMALL TOWNS on a national stage. We have a speaker. But it is going to take the whole country to pull this off. This is a David vs Goliath story. Small towns vs urban centres. Right now, this isn’t just about an award. It’s about whether small towns across Canada get a louder voice on a national stage.

    Entrepreneur Magazine doesn’t usually shine a spotlight on rural communities. It highlights big markets, big cities, big stories.

    This is our shot to change that.

    Every vote today is worth DOUBLE until 9 PM (PDT). That’s not just momentum—that’s leverage. The kind small towns rarely get.

    If you believe small towns matter…
    If you believe local businesses deserve more visibility…
    If you’re tired of watching rural Canada get overlooked…

    Then this is the moment to act.

    A vote here is a vote for:

    Main streets over mega malls
    Local operators over outside chains
    Community-first thinking over copy-paste growth

    Let’s take the lead back and make some noise they can’t ignore.

    ? Vote now:  https://entrepreneurofimpact.org/2026/greg-girard

    Because when small towns win, Canada wins.
