This white water weekend is for experienced river paddlers on rapids up to Class III for all the runs, and Class II for some of the runs.  It is early season the water will be cold. This is our traditional Wildhay weekend but as we plan this trip the snow pack is low and we anticipate mostly paddling in Jasper Park.  But maybe the Wildhay will be "up."

1. We have the entire Kinky Lake Campground booked (24kms west of Hinton on HWY16) as we have guaranteed paddling on Athabasca River in Jasper. Driving Kinky Lake to Old Fort Point (our take out for the Athabasca River runs) is approximately 60kms. On the Athabasca River we paddle the full section from Below the Falls to Old Fort Point which is 34 kms of great scenery and up to Class 3+ water.

Less experienced paddlers may skip the upper run (9kms) and join at Meeting of the Waters (Whirlpool joins the Athabasca). See Mark’s Guide For Alberta Paddlers for detailed river information.

1. This trip is for whitewater boats, with full floatation. Paddlers must have dry suits or wet suits.
2. Camp cost at Kinky Lake is $45 per camp unit for the weekend. There are 10 campsites each with a picnic table, a lake to practice on and toilet facilities.
3. IF the Wildhay has enough water we could consider paddling it on the Friday or the Sunday.
