Canada's most unique river adventure — a bike ride like you've never taken before. Hop on an electric-assist waterbike, cruise the Nottawasaga River with open water views, warm sun, and a breeze at your back. No traffic. No pavement. No guide. We pick you up at the end.
Think of it as your favourite bike ride — completely reimagined. Same fresh air, same satisfying pedal, same sense of freedom. Except there's no traffic, no pavement, and no helmet hair. Just open water, stunning river views, sun on your face, and a breeze at your back. Pedal hard for a great workout, or dial it back and let the electric assist do the heavy lifting. The Nottawasaga River is your trail.
No tour guide hovering over you. Launch from our dock, cruise downstream at your own pace, and we pick you up at the end. Your river, your rules.
Push hard and get a real workout, ease off and let the electric assist glide you along — or mix it up. You're in control the whole time. No experience needed beyond knowing how to ride a bike.
The Nottawasaga is a busy waterway so wildlife sightings vary — but you'll likely spot Great Blue Herons, Red-tailed Hawks, the occasional painted turtle, and beautiful tree-lined banks. It's a peaceful, green escape.
No shame — jetskis are awesome. This just isn't that. Knotty River Tours is for people who want to slow down, take it in, and enjoy the ride.

Reviews from our beta riders and early season adventurers.
"We drove up from Brampton on a Saturday and it was the best GTA day trip we've done in years. Genuinely unlike anything else. The golden hour on the river is something else — we didn't want to get off."
"Did this as a guys' trip from Toronto and it was the highlight of the whole Wasaga weekend. So unique — nobody had ever heard of electric waterbikes. The pickup at the end is genius."
"I was nervous I'd fall off but the briefing was super reassuring and the bike is way more stable than it looks. Saw a heron and two turtles. I'm already planning to come back."
