Power Boating & Water Sports 

Alberta has more than 600 lakes. During the summer, residents and visitors hit the water with gusto. You can waterski, wakeboard, windsurf, kite board, jet ski, jet boat and even scuba dive at lakes scattered throughout the province.

• Scuba dive in the Rockies
• Motor for days along the rivers of northern Alberta
• Dive in to central Alberta, the province’s resort capital
• Splash down in southern Alberta’s cross-border parks
• Windsurf for hours on Eagle Lake near Calgary
• Zip over the waters of Shalom Park near Edmonton

Note: Federal regulations state that anyone born after 1983 operating any size of powerboat, including a Personal Water Craft (PWC) such as a jet ski, must also have a valid Pleasure Craft Operator’s (PCO) licence. Those interested can apply for a licence through Service Canada.
