Canoeing & Kayaking 

Alberta’s waterways are divided into seven major water systems that include the Hay, Peace/Slave, Athabasca, Beaver, North Saskatchewan, South Saskatchewan and Milk river basins—a paddler’s dream.

These are all big rivers with prime stretches for whitewater enthusiasts and multi-day paddlers. More than 600 lakes and hundreds upon hundreds of rivers and streams await paddlers who will find beauty and adventure in uncrowded waterways around the province. 

Planning a trip? Play it safe and do your research before you head out.
