  Booking made for the nights of May 17,18 & 19 at the Belly River Group Campsite.  Anticipate that we will paddle sections of the Belly, St Mary's and Waterton Rivers, but due to Parks Canada restrictions on watercraft this year, we will be putting in outside of the park boundary.  Difficulty levels will be Intermediate to Intermediate.  Plan for cold paddling conditions; either a wet suit or dry suit are required.  The cost will be $7.50 per person per night, or $15 per family per night.  A parks pass will also be required.  If you are the first person to arrive, the key to the gate lock can be picked up at the information desk in town.  Note that you will also need to bring enough drinking water for your stay.

    Day trips between Milk River and Weir Bridge

  Register

  The Milk River is one of the Clubs' most popular trips! We are car camping at Goldspring Campground. There will be day trips Saturday, Sunday and (usually) Monday on the Milk River. These sections are 4-6hrs of fun and very scenic novice+ to low intermediate skill levels, with many turns and bolder gardens to keep it interesting!  Be prepared for hot conditions. 

  Pot Luck Dinner on Saturday.
