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.
