Whitewater Rafting on the Kananaskis River
The Kananaskis River winds through the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, foreshadowing the soaring peaks that lie to the west. Whitewater rafting experts consider the Kananaskis the most approachable of the rafting rivers near Banff, though still guaranteed to be a splash-filled adventure.
Suit up in your whitewater gear and take to the waves for a lively trip down the river. As your group’s raft smoothly absorbs the waves and drops in the rapids, you’ll find you’re not the only one letting out squeals of excitement and laughter.
