PADDLING

At Bow Waters, we are dedicated to fun and safe paddling in and around Southern Alberta. You are sure to find trips and people that match your interests and skill level. Safety is paramount in our club, and paddling the rivers of Alberta are best done in groups for so many good reasons

There are so many opportunities to improve your skills and widen your experiences. Just getting out on our beautiful rivers builds experience. Our members are also fine and willing mentors!  We have a wide selection of lessons and courses available




ADVENTURE

We are all on a great adventure together! Our paddlers possess a deep appreciation for the environment we are fortunate to paddle through. Whether you enjoy the peaceful flow of calm waters; the joy and challenge of active waters; or the full-on adrenalin of rushing whitewater, we have a trip for you. As a member, you will have opportunities to take your skills and safety knowledge to the next level. We paddle rivers in and around Calgary and southern Alberta 


COMMUNITY

Our Club is so much more than just paddling! We are a community of like-minded people who revel in each other company, embrace new experiences, lend a helping or mentoring hand, and share on the water, around the campfire, or at our many events, presentations, and volunteering activities! Our members are primarily paddlers and canoe enthusiasts in Calgary, but our membership includes folks from Edmonton, Red deer, Lethbridge and rural communities. Every age group, singles and families are all enjoying the benefits of our club!
