Guests can enjoy a variety of activities throughout the year, from hiking on the Walter Bean Grand River Trail to downhill skiing at the Chicopee Ski Club. The Grand River is known throughout Canada as a premier fishing spot, and lovely parks are sprinkled throughout the city, including Victoria Park, which boasts beautiful rose gardens and a historic Clock Tower.
