Voyageur Canoe – Lake Paddle

Morning and Afternoon Tours

Paddle Through History on the Bow River

Enjoy a picturesque paddle on the calm, clear waters of the Canmore Forebay, nestled at the top of the Bow Valley. Surrounded by towering peaks—including the iconic Ha Ling and East End of Rundle (EEOR)—this relaxed outing offers stunning alpine views and a peaceful start or end to your day.

Glide effortlessly across the lake as our expert guides share local stories, mountain lore, and the history of the area. Along the way, you’ll pause to enjoy some local refreshments at the base of Ha Ling Peak before returning with panoramic views of Canmore and the surrounding valley behind you.

This experience uses traditional-style voyageur canoe, reminiscent of those that helped open up the Canadian West. We provide PFDs and paddles—just don’t forget your camera!
