The Elbow River is the perfect choice for beginner rafters.

ALBERTA – Canada – The Elbow River in Alberta is the perfect choice for “reluctant rafters.” No experience is necessary for this mild float. Start at Sandy Beach, which sports a shallow access point, easy to navigate for kids and adults alike, for a two-hour river float before ending at the 4th Street bridge. Looking to add some more intensity? It’s possible to ride the Elbow all the way to the Bow River. Due to water levels, whitewater rafting on the Elbow River is only possible for a short time during May and June each year. Your family will love their time on the Elbow River on your next Canadian Rockies vacation.
