Description:

Set out for a whitewater rafting adventure on the Athabasca River, beginning at the base of the thundering Athabasca Falls. Surge through Class II rapids as you take in breathtaking views of Jasper National Park’s snow-capped peaks and evergreen forests.

Make your way south from Jasper to the put-in site, and spend some time with your expert, national park-licensed guides as they get you geared up and provide safety instructions for your float trip adventure.

Your scenic whitewater adventure begins at the base of the stunning 80-foot (24-m) tall Athabasca Falls, one of the most powerful and breathtaking waterfalls in the Canadian Rockies, with thundering cascade that propels a misty spray into the air. Grab your paddle and dig into the waves of exciting, Class II rapids as they whisk you through Alberta’s Jasper National Park into a deep canyon.

Emerge from the canyon walls to see the Athabasca River Valley open up before you. Your knowledgeable, local guides provide commentary on the valley’s natural history and the wildlife that call it home as you drift between stretches of rapids.

The course, approximately 7.5 miles (12 k) in length, is one of the longest float trips through the park. Once off the river and out of your wetsuit, you can sit back and enjoy a slideshow of photos from your river experience as you’re transported back to your pickup site.
