Ceyana Canoe Club |
Drop-in Paddling
Rundle Park Pond
First session for MEMBERS ONLY opens June 16, 2026
At the Rundle Park Paddling Centre, we have access to 20+ kayaks (rec, whitewater, tandem) over 20 canoes (tandem, and solo), 8 stand Up Paddleboards (SUPs) and all the necessary paddles, PFDs, bailers and throwbags. We offer this drop-in paddling most Tuesday evenings through the season, once the ponds are filled each spring.
Rundle Park Paddling Sessions start in early June and run until mid-September. Volunteers are available to provide informal paddling tips. Members can start at 7:00 PM. Beginning in mid August we start and finish earlier due to shortened day lengths.
The club DOES NOT paddle at RPPC on the Tuesdays after the Canada Day, August Civic Holiday and Labour Day weekends. Our Rundle ponds are drained by the third week of September most years.
After 2 sessions, public participants need to have a club membership for their third session.
CANCELLATION DUE TO WEATHER: Sessions at Rundle run based on weather and air quality forecasts. They are subject to change on short notice. We will cancel sessions if the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) is 7+ Edmonton AQHI or if lightning/solid rain is forecast based on Environment Canada Forecast for Edmonton. CHECK THE FORECAST FROM THE ABOVE LINKS BEFORE YOU ATTEND!
Cancellation notices will also be posted on Ceyana Community Facebook ONLY by around 5:00pm but check the forecast first.
For PUBLIC PADDLERS check the weather at the above links since you will not have access to our Facebook page.

Voyageur Canoe Fitness Paddling 
Our Big Canoe Fitness paddling starts late April most years. This program paddles out of our storage facility next to the EWP Boat house in Buena Vista Park, just north of the Rowing Club. Participants will paddle voyageur boats on the North Saskatchewan River, you do not need to know a lot about paddling the big canoes to join, just come prepared to work hard, and learn to paddle our big/Voyageur canoes. 2026 Big / Voyageur Canoe Fitness Paddles with D. Tetz, which will enroll you for these Thursday evening sessions. We use a Google Sheet to confirm attendance. You must be a member of the club to register, but are welcome to drop in for a session to confirm your interest. Regular paddlers are advised to get their own bent shaft canoe paddle of the appropriate length for optimal performance. We have some paddles that can be borrowed. Questions? Contact Darryl, see Contact NEW AS OF MAY 29, 2023: Monday evening sessions added. Registrants will be contacted for Monday paddle locations (not at Buena Vista).
