Welcome!

Welcome to my very occasional blog about canoeing near Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

I’m a very casual canoeist with a young family. One of the challenges of getting out in the summer has been a lack of practical information about where to canoe around Edmonton.

This blog is my contribution. Basically I’ll be chronicling places we’ve put in with tips about access, parking and services as well as the sites to see. Hopefully this will help out other recreational canoeists.

Your feedback about each location is welcomed in the comments section of each posting.

I'm so happy to have found your blog! It's so hard to find places to padde around Edmonton. Not to mention actual opinions on paddeling for the rest of Alberta.

Thanks. I hope it is helpful. I'm hoping to add three or four more places to paddle this summer.

Glad I came across this blog, nearly 11 years on from your first blog & it's still hard to find good gen on paddling in and around Edmonton.

I've spent the last few hours reading through your blog and it's given me some great ideas for this year. Which will see me return to kayaking after many years away.
