Lower Elk River

The Elk River Canyon is a large volume Class IV river with steep canyon walls of unique geology. With unique geology comes unique hydrology, which helps form all of the exciting rapids. This is our most popular run. From May to September the Elk River Canyon is a classic river run that has it all; exciting rapids, amazing wilderness, and cliff jumping. Looking up you may be rewarded with sightings of big game animals and birds of prey. With no roads or trails along this stretch of river the only way to experience it is by boat. There is a hike down a long set of stairs to get to the river, you can check it out in our gallery.​

Bull River

In the spring when the snow melts and the rains come, the Bull River changes from a small mountain river to a roaring whitewater run! This spring trip offered in May and June delivers all the thrill of great river running. Stunning mountain scenery steeped in history surrounds you as you eat waves paddling through an uninhabited river valley flowing through the Majestic Rocky Mountains. The excitement builds with each set of rapids to the climax in the lower canyon, an incredible crescendo of whitewater. The Lower Bull Canyon is one of the most sustained stretches of class IV water in the area.​

"This was a fantastic experience. Group of six adults. Blair runs a great company. Great stretch of river. Exceptionally skilled, competent and friendly guides. TallPaul took our group through with finesse, skill and humour. Emphasis on safety without compromising the experience. Ab-fab riverside lunch. Cliff jumping added a bit more adrenaline. Swimming/ floating along the raft isa nice way to cool down a bit. Rational approach to COVID. I would highly recommend this trip."

"What a fantastic company to raft with, very organized, friendly and extremely knowledgable staff. Best experience we have had with any raft company, with the most breath taking views and most wonderful lunch provided, complete with a birthday cake for my Dads 60th. Highly recommend going with Canyon Raft Company if looking for the best day on the river with a great company in the Fernie area."

"The River Wild was an awesome experience from top to bottom. We have 3 kids (12, 12, and 9), one of whom is afraid of the water- our guide was excellent in making sure he felt safe and had fun, while also creating an exciting experience for the other more adventurous kids! The lunch was also delicious with homemade bread for our custom sandwiches. The canyon was also very scenic."
