I paddle a fair bit on the North Saskatchewan but I don't blog about it much (pretty much the same all the time). In late July, I had an early morning run upstream out of out of Dawson Park to Louise McKinney and back that had great pictures.
The launch at Dawson is pretty shallow and I had to wade out beyond the end of the dock to get enough water to float. Then an easy paddle upstream to accidental beach.
Here (near outflow 147), the current gets momentarily swift (this was a good hard paddle!) and then it was easy going again under the Tawatina bridge. The reflections were really great in the morning sun.
Then a lazy float back downstream to pull out and head home to start the day.
I don't do this section of the river nearly enough and it is very pretty.
