    Tips

    October 26, 2025

    The Kananaskis River winds through the valleys of Kananaskis Country, flowing between rugged mountain slopes and dense evergreen forest before joining the Bow River. Known for its clear, fast-moving water, it’s a favourite spot for kayaking, rafting, and riverside hiking.

    Trails and viewpoints along its banks—like those near the Widowmaker day-use area—offer easy access to watch the rapids and take in the mountain scenery that defines this part of Alberta.
