Paddle Adventures Await This Summer!
With the May long weekend just around the corner, it's time to start dreaming about summer paddle excursions. We’re familiar with all the popular spots: Rundle Forebay, Two Jack Lake, and Johnson Lake in Canmore and Banff. However, perhaps this is the season to explore a bit further afield.
The Bow Valley and its surrounding areas boast some incredible paddling opportunities that are slightly off the beaten path yet completely accessible with a bit of effort. Last summer, we particularly enjoyed:
- Goat Pond
- Upper Kananaskis Lake
- The south side of Barrier Lake
- A gentle stretch of the Bow River in Canmore
This season, dare to venture beyond the usual spots, explore new locations, and enjoy exciting adventures on the water. Always remember to clean, drain, and dry your vessel, wear a life jacket, and don't hesitate to reach out for advice if needed! Wishing you a joyful paddling experience this summer!
