UNLIKE ANYTHING ON THE RIVER

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.

🏄

Truly Self-Guided Freedom

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.

Pedal, Assist, or Both

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.

🌿

Nature & River Scenery

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.

🎯 Is This For You?
✅ This IS for you if...
  • You love cycling and want a whole new kind of ride
  • You want fresh air, sun, and a great pedal with zero traffic
  • You'd take river views over a bike path any day
  • You want a real workout OR a relaxed cruise — your call
  • You're after something unique you can't do anywhere else in Canada
  • You want a story worth telling 📸
❌ This is NOT for you if...
  • You want jetski-level speed and adrenaline
  • You're looking for a thrill sport
  • You need constant action and intensity

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."

THINGS PEOPLE ASK US

If you don't find your answer here, just call us — we're happy to chat.

Do I need any experience to ride?
Not at all. If you can balance on a regular bike, you can ride an electric waterbike. Our 5-minute orientation covers everything you need. The bikes are stable, intuitive, and forgiving — most people are confident within the first 2 minutes.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Safety first. We monitor conditions closely and will contact you if weather forces a reschedule. Light rain is totally fine — it's actually a magical experience. We'll never send you out in lightning or unsafe conditions, and we'll always work with you to find a new date.
How far is the downstream pickup point?
The downstream float is about a 2-hour ride from our launch point — the river does most of the work. Our crew meets you at the designated pickup dock and shuttles everyone back to the launch. It's seamless and part of what makes the experience so special.
Can kids ride?
Knotty River Tours is adults only — all riders must be 18 years of age or older. All riders must wear a provided life jacket. Have questions? Give us a call before booking and we're happy to help.
Is there a weight limit?
Yes — the maximum weight per bike is 330 lbs (approx. 150 kg). This is a manufacturer safety guideline. If you have questions about this, please call us before booking and we'll do our best to help.
Where exactly are you located in Wasaga Beach?
Our launch point is on the Nottawasaga River in Wasaga Beach, Ontario. The exact address is provided in your booking confirmation. We're easy to find and have on-site parking. If you need help navigating, just give us a call!
How do I book — online or by phone?
Both! You can fill out the booking request form on this page, or call us directly at (705) 555-0100. We typically respond to form submissions within a few hours. Phone calls get you an instant answer — we love to chat about the experience.
Do I need to do anything before I arrive?
Yes — two things! First, you'll sign your waiver online before arriving so check-in is fast. Second, we'll send you a link to our short safety briefing video. Watch it at home and your on-site briefing is shorter, which means you get on the water sooner. 😉
Can I rent gear or buy accessories on the day?
Yes! We rent dry bags and bluetooth speakers at the dock. We also sell waterproof phone cases with a buoy lanyard — great for keeping your phone safe and within reach on the water. Bring bug spray regardless of the season, it's always worth it on the Nottawasaga.
