Paddling adventures .
A whitewater rafting or inflatable kayaking trip with Canyon Raft Co . or Tunnel49 is your ticket to adventure . A full day on the lower Elk River features big canyons , cliff jumping for the wild-at-heart and plenty of big water action . Get even closer to the action on a mammoth raft as you rocket high over waves !
For a gentler river experience , take a scenic float tour or a lesson in stand-up paddle boarding ( SUP ); or put your teamwork to a test on a giant inflatable SUPSquatch . Watch for wildlife on the water ’ s edge including eagles , blue herons and beavers , and maybe even glimpse a stately elk or black bear .
Pick up a copy of the Elk River Map showing all paddle sport locations , put-ins & take-outs , and more . Fernie is a gateway to many area rivers and lakes for the self-guided explorer to experience . Connect with local sports & guide shops for top tips and safe practices .
