Athabasca River Canoe Trip in Alberta, Canada

Guided canoe tour with wilderness camping on the Athabasca River in Alberta, CanadaFun, thrills and action on this multi day canoe trip in Alberta in open Canadian canoes. You learn to 'read' the water and practice minimum impact wilderness camping. A day of training on a quiet lake prepares you for the run down the mighty Athabasca River which flows past Jasper and east out of the Alberta Rocky Mountains. The selected stretch of the river can be mastered by novice paddlers, but the current, some rapids, overhanging trees, driftwood and gravel bars demand constant vigilance. Experienced canoeists find plenty of challenge in this wilderness setting. There are no towns, no houses along the route, just the wide river, islands and forests. A genuine Canadian outdoor adventure.
