    General Information (Banff, Canmore/Kananaskis)

The Bow River has both good float trips and intermediate whitewater (Horseshoe Canyon); the Kananaskis River offers more excitement for novices; the remote Kootenay River is ideal for families; and the turbulent Kicking Horse River is a true whitewater adventure.
