Where to Kayak in the Edmonton Area - Lakes and Ponds

Where to Kayak in the Edmonton Area - Lakes and Ponds

6 minute read

With Aquabatics / AQ Outdoors Edmonton being a new addition to the Edmonton paddling community, we wanted to compile a list of all the places that one can paddle in and around the Edmonton area.  Whether it be a quick jaunt after work, or a day trip with the family, our goal is to document as many of these as possible.

 

For when you ask yourself "where to kayak in Edmonton" we thought it would be best to compile a bullet point list here on the blog and then provide further information via links to our community driven paddling location website Paddlingmaps.com.  So, as you go through this list you can link out to that page which has driving directions (from where you are), location information, lake sizes and much more.

For reference we have included lakes and ponds up to 1.5 hours away from central Edmonton.  The list is by no means exhaustive, if you have some gem paddling spots we don't have listed we would love to see you add them on Paddlingmaps.com.

If the list below gets you excited to get out on the water, feel free to follow the links below for more information:
