Athabasca River

Join us for a day trip on the mighty Athabasca. We will launch from the Snye and paddle to a suitable sandbar for lunch, and continue to the Bridge to Nowhere just before Fort McKay. More stops can be made to explore and stretch! Plan for a full day on the water.

📍 Route Map: Find the map and more information on the trip here.

This is a recreational paddle suitable for paddlers comfortable in Class I moving water.

What to Bring:

  • Kayak, canoe, or paddleboard (club can supply)

  • PFD (mandatory, club can supply)

  • A drybag (preferred, trip leader can supply) or backpack for gear with: food for the full day in waterproof packaging, a change of clothes in case of capsize, extra layers for weather changes (fleece, gloves, toque, rain gear), and insect repellant and sunblock.

  • A smile and your paddling spirit!

Further nice to have items can be found on the map linked above. The trip leader will carry a first aid kit and a satellite communication device.

Please sign up in advance so we can coordinate boats, shuttles, and group logistics. See you on the water!
