About
Full day and half day canoe trips down the North Saskatchewan River every Saturday and Sunday. On weekdays, we have some nice evening paddle through downtown Edmonton. We meet in the city, shuttle you upstream and you paddle at your own leisure back to the meeting point, where your vehicle is parked. We supply your booked canoe or kayak and all equipment you need for the trip, including Personal Floating Devices in every size. Bring together a team of colleagues, a group of friends, family, club members and paddle your boat down the North Saskatchewan River, looking at the city from a completely different perspective and perhaps seeing some wildlife in an urban environment. All our trips are for beginners and range between three to six hours. If you have your own canoe or kayak and just need a ride for yourself and your boat, we do that, too. We operate from beginning of June to end of September.

What a great day again on the North Saskatchewan. Finally a beautiful day and the trip was perfect. It is so odd that more people done take advantage of all the river has to offer. Thanks to Edmonton Canoe Stefan and Bianca for enabling this trip by shuttling me and my kayak up to Devon. It is such a time and effort saver. I have been on trips with them so many times and have NEVER been disappointed.. Their patience, flexibility and professionalism is amazing. They are so helpful and knowledgeable, it is greatly appreciated. I will be back.. for sure!!!!

We spent the day floating from Devon to Sir Wilfred Laurier boat launch. The weather was perfect, stopped for a picnic lunch along the way, watched a couple of juvenile coyotes make their way along the bank and enjoyed watching all the people onshore enjoying this wonderful resource we have. Definitely will do this again.
Thanks Bianca and Steve!

We had a great time on our 2 hour canoe from Sir Wilfried Laurier to Capilano park on a Sunday afternoon. The weather was stunning, and the organization was top notch. Would do it again for sure!

I attended the solo day kayaking trip from Devon back to Edmonton and it was incredible! Edmonton Canoe staff were so welcoming and kind and the whole experience was so rejuvenating. They made the opportunity to kayak so convenient for individuals who do not own kayaks or have to go through the work of setting this up alone. Starting in Devon and heading back towards Edmonton you really get to experience the peacefulness and beauty of our river valley. It was one of the best days of my summer! I highly recommend this adventure to anyone and will absolutely be doing it again myself.

We did a short Sunday afternoon trip last year from Emily Murphy to Capilano and had so much fun, we didn't hesitate to book another trip for this summer. This year, due to the construction on the Groat Road bridge, the trip started a little further away at Laurier Park, but the price didn't change (a sweet bonus). Since I have a young teen and a ten year old, we rented the additional seat so we could travel together.
Edmonton Canoe walked us through instructions and the use of our dry bags, etc before we boarded the bus ride to Laurier. At the boat drop, the canoes were already lined up and ready for us. We just needed to hop in and paddle away.
It was easy paddling down the North Saskatchewan and we truly enjoyed our time in the canoes.
We were the last to arrive, but the crew didn't seem to mind as they seem genuinely thrilled we had a great time.
We're going to make this an annual event now, and Edmonton Canoe is who I'll use.

Took our Texas family on an evening canoe trip from Laurier Park to Capilano. Great fun inspite of the smoke from Forest Fires. Interesting to see Edmonton from a different perspective.

Now THIS is the way to see Edmonton!
For a hundred bucks an adult, you get shuttled to the vicinity of the Valley Zoo, to embark upon a floater's dream ride.
2-3 hours of canoeing or kayaking the N Saskatchewan River is a delightful way to view our wonderful river valley.
You will be well supplied and taken care of.
And bring the kids! It's ALL good!
I HIGHLY reccomend this trip/eventure 😉

We just went on Sunday 1-5pm. this was awesome. There was 29 of us that went and it was an amazing day. All friends and some families. We met at Capilano Park and they bused ya to Laurier park and put all our boats in the water for us. This is my 4th time doing this ride. I’ve done Devon to Emily Murphy with them too. Defo recommend it. We got a gorgeous day. It’s lovely to see Edmonton from a different view. The river ride is gorgeous. ☺️☺️😎😎

We had a great day paddling the river from Devon to Laurier Park. Edmonton Canoe gave good instructions, provided the canoe, paddles, and life jackets we needed for the trip, and they were there waiting when we arrived at Laurier. We want to go again!

I had to re-book and the staff was wonderful to help in making this arrangement (space was available). With the new date (Heritage Day long weekend), weather was perfect, the river level was low and flow was extremely slow. Best time to float down and relax.
The guy at the end was patient enough as we were the last to arrive and was cool about it.
Next time I'd like to try the Devon trip.
Highly recommend this as you don't have to coordinate gear and ride.
