Kayak Your Way Through Stunning Riverscapes
The Elk and Bull rivers offer some of the best kayaking in the region. The lower Elk River flows through stunning mountain scenery and a Class-3 run with playful rapids. The nearby Bull River delivers a more remote feel, with Class 2-to-4 rapid and clear turquoise waters winding through rugged canyons and forested valleys. Conditions can change with the season, so it’s best to connect with Fernie's outfitters for current river info, gear, and guided trips.
