Athabasca Expressway Whitewater Rafting
Overview
From novice to age ninety, no experience is necessary on this Class 2 whitewater adventure. You will raft along a wide, 5-mile section of the Athabasca River, aptly named the Expressway. The river winds its way through the incredibly scenic valley, surrounded by rocky mountains and old-growth pine forests. The flowing stretches are peppered with fun, splashy rapids making it the ideal river for families with young children.
