Brant.

The County of Brant wraps the City of Brantford on three sides and rides the Canadian Heritage Grand River south from Glen Morris through Paris and on toward Six Nations. The Grand River Conservation Authority manages three properties inside the County: Brant Conservation Area on 154 hectares of river flats south of Paris, Pinehurst Lake Conservation Area on a 250-acre kettle lake near St.

George, and Apps' Mill Nature Centre on Whiteman's Creek west of Paris. The SC Johnson Trail (also signed as the Cambridge-to-Paris Rail Trail) runs roughly 19–20 km along the Grand on a former Lake Erie & Northern Railway corridor and connects east into the Hamilton-to-Brantford Rail Trail to form a continuous Trans Canada Trail spine.

Paris itself sits at the Nith and Grand confluence with a 19th-century cobblestone and limestone streetscape on Grand River Street North. About an hour from Hamilton and the GTA via the major provincial highway corridors.
