Life on the Red Deer River is a Life Worth Living
There’s no better way to soak up the sun and scenery than to hop on a raft and float down the shimmering Red Deer River.
The beautiful Red Deer River runs right through Sundre. Nearby, paddle with your canoe on Burnstick Lake and Beaver Lake (with excellent fishing).
Kayaking the Red Deer
For those adventurers that prefer to be more in control of their vessel, the Red Deer River will challenge you and delight you. Several areas in the Sundre area are great to launch from, including Greenwood Campground.
Stop in by the Sundre Visitor Information Centre for more information on potential launch locations. Unless you already have your own secret point, then please, launch away.
Those who are unsure or inexperienced are welcome to try their skills on nearby lakes.
Canoeists Unite
Just 35 minutes northwest of Sundre are two lakes, Burnstick Lake, and Beaver Lake. Two very different styles of lake experience, but both equally beautiful.
Burnstick Lake
Burnstick Lake is home to Burnstick Lake Summer Village, a campground, beach and several tourism operators. Although motorized boating is common, many people choose to paddle board, canoe or kayak.
Beaver Lake
Beaver Lake is just a couple of minutes up the road from Burnstick, and home to a provincial recreation area providing a well stocked lake for fishing. Beaver Lake does not permit motorized boats, so this lake is peaceful and perfect for canoeists seeking solitude. Listen to the many loons, or observe the bald eagles that call this area home.
Rafting Tours
Mukwah Rafting Tours operates in the area West of Sundre. The Red Deer River is in fact touted as the most fun rafting river in Western Canada - guaranteeing you a good time!
