Beaver River: Kimberley–Epping Paddle and Chalet Routes
The Beaver River route from Access Point 1 near Kimberley to Access Point 2 at Epping is a ten-kilometre paddle described by Grey County. The winding river makes the distance on water different from the short drive between road access points. Arrange boats, participant suitability and the return journey before making the launch your meeting place.

Put both Beaver River access points in the transport plan
The county lists Access 1 at 235566 Grey Road 13 and Access 2 at 686561 Sideroad 19. Share the correct launch and finish with each driver, and decide how people and equipment will return after the paddle.
If using an outfitter, follow its meeting instructions instead of independently arriving at the water. The group organizer’s guide helps assign those practical responsibilities before departure.
Allow the Kimberley–Epping river journey enough time
Grey County cautions that slow river travel can take much longer than visitors expect. Do not infer a two-hour finish from the map distance or from another group’s account of different water conditions.
Ask the chosen operator about the route on your date and the party’s experience. The summer activity guide helps keep the rest of the day light enough for a substantial excursion.
Choose the Beaver River equipment and participants together
Arrange boats and properly fitted flotation equipment for the actual people going. Discuss assistance, instruction and the possibility of carrying around an obstruction with the operator before deciding that this route suits everyone.
Guests who prefer a land outing can make their own plan and reunite afterwards. The weeklong holiday guide helps accommodate that choice without making every household share the same activity.
