Whitewater Rafting and Floating > Clearwater / Valemount

Ride the Watery Rollercoaster

Feel the exhilaration as your raft rises higher in the rolling water and lands with a thump as water splashes your face. Grasp your paddle as you rocket over and through the frigid water. Your face begins to ache and you realize your face is frozen in an ear to ear grin. You let out a whoop, feeling more alive than ever! You’re ready for anything, including taming this beast of a river.  

By late summer the rivers are calmer, perfect for a float down the river. Take your time and enjoy the scenery as you float your cares away.
