Harvey Passage

Highlight • River

Harvey Passage is a man-made whitewater channel on the Bow River, designed for safe kayaking, rafting, and surfing near the western edge of Pierce Estate Park. The passage includes both an easy channel for beginners and a more challenging route with waves and drops for skilled paddlers. It’s a great spot to watch paddlers from the Bow River Pathway, especially in summer when the water is high and activity on the river is constant.
