“We also need to promote this river because there are more than six million people within less than a day’s drive of here. The Grand River needs to be marketed as an inexpensive, quality experience for people to enjoy. If people leave feeling that way, the chances of them coming back to stay in one of the accommodations or buy a meal increases immensely.”
Shane Carmichael, Co-Founder: Day Of A Thousand Canoes
