Between the 1940's and the 1950's, the Yacht Club merged with the Tennis Club to form the Deep River Yacht and Tennis Club.

The Deep River club has been in operation since 1977 and is a member of the Shito-Ryu Itosu-Kai Karate & Kobudo Association, Canada. Karate is a Japanese form of martial arts that originated in Okinawa hundreds of years ago and was derived from several different martial arts learned as a result of trade with China. Karate evolved into three distinct styles from which most present-day karate styles are derived--one of which is Shito-Ryu which combines both so-called ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ styles. We teach both self-defense and competitive karate in a safe and fun environment, learning and performing basic blocks, kicks and strikes until they become reactive movements. Superior physical fitness is achieved through cardiovascular exercises, flexibility and strength development. We are strictly a non-profit organization; all instructors are volunteers who, after practicing for a number of years, became qualified for teaching.
The Deep River Curling and Squash Club is home to four sheets of curling ice and two squash courts. We are a club that runs on the dedication of volunteers. Both curling and squash are social games which means that they promote a supportive environment for new members and players of all skill levels.
Our Curling Club has many programs that run throughout the fall into late winter. We offer a Little Rocks and Junior Curling Program which teaches children and teens aged 6-18 the sport. We also have a 12 week Learn to Curl program for adult curlers who would like to try the game. League play and social pick up games run throughout the week, ending with Friday Night Social Curling which is open to both members, and non-members of the club.
Our Squash Club runs clinics ranging from beginners to more advanced players. We have drop-in and organized league nights. Players also have the option to have a key in order to play when convenient.
