Join us for the 2026 Jock River Paddle! Total paddle distance is 6.5 km. Meet us at the bridge on the 9th Line of Beckwith to start your adventure! Our friendly staff will help unload your boat. After dropping off your canoe/kayak/paddleboard, drive to Ashton Park, park your vehicle, and catch the shuttle back to the starting route. Due to the large number of participants, we will divide paddlers into groups with staggered launch times to avoid overcrowding the river. Your assigned launch time will be emailed to you one week before the event. Please know that these launch times are a guideline --if you have been assigned to a different group from your friends/family, feel free to to go together. After the paddle, relax and enjoy drinks, lunch, and live entertainment at the Ashton Pub! For lunch reservations, we recommend calling ahead. Any questions? Please contact the Township of Beckwith at (613) 257-1539, ext. 210 or at events@twp.beckwith.on.ca. See you on the river!
