    Tips

    October 17, 2025

    The Bow River is a broad, fast-moving river fed by meltwater from the peaks. It’s usually knee-deep with a few shallow spots to choose from, but the current can be strong in early summer. Bring water shoes and poles, and take a minute to scout your crossing before you commit.
