Outdoor Adventures
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.
