Banff National Park is famous all around the world! As a teenager snowboarding in the 90's in Australia and New Zealand I had even heard about it! Now, that was for winter activities, what I have since learned (since moving to Calgary in 2015) is that the paddling is also amongst some of the best in the world.
This 'Where to Paddle Guide' gives some of the highlight locations for both recreational and whitewater paddlers. Each entry is just an introduction, if you click on the PaddlingMaps.com links it will take you to full location descriptions with maps, gps waypoints (downloadable when logged in), local knowledge and much more.
This is by no means an exhaustive list and there are many more listed within the PaddlingMaps.com website. The site is driven by community members, so, if you have some gem paddling spots we dont have listed we would love to see you add them on Paddlingmaps.com.
