The last truly wild rivers within a half days drive from Calgary. The Brazeau offers three truly distinct sections of travel. A fast flowing canyon with class three features. once through the canyon section the river continues to move quickly but with braided channels in a boreal landscape. Expect to see moose and deer here. Once through the braided channels the river flows into the Brazeau Reservoir which holds high cliff walls.
Expect full service with catered meals, complete gear allocations, well out fitted boats and all camping supplies outside of personal sleep systems and effects. We love getting our clients trained up before the trip. Our menu allows for gluten free and vegan modifications as needed. We love to cook over the fire and using classic cast iron dutch ovens and frying pans. All our guides are Paddle Canada Instructors. Our expeditions are also opportunities to build up your skills. The first day of this package includes expert skills training and guidance through a flat water and river skills session. For those who are challenged by age, access or skill we offer raft support. This also gives the option of supporting Standup Paddle Boarders and Solo Canoeists or Kayakers. We are kid friendly and dog friendly.
