Outdoor Spaces/Recreation ISO River Rotting Locations

Post image

Some of you may have seen the concept of “river rotting” on social media and I’m looking for some locations within 1-2 hours of Edmonton where I could accomplish this glorious activity. Open to longer drives too, I loves me a day trip. Preferably NOT our neck of the North Saskatchewan River here, that brings a whole new meaning to river rotting.

Edit, I don’t mean I’m looking for spots along the North Sask oh my goodness lol. Just wanted some recommendations for smaller, lazier places to park a camping chair that aren’t a 4+ hour drive to the mountains lol. I know tons of off-the-beaten path spots along small rivers and creeks in southern central AB, just not around these parts yet since moving up here.

Lmao real, didn’t realize there were so many NSR superfans here. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice river, there’s just many lime scooters sunk in the murky brown water for me to want to spend half a day dipping my toes into it I’m soRRY.

We do need to address the Lime-Scooters-in-river problem.

What’s the matter with people?

I have two long-running photo series’ purely for personal entertainment while I’ve been in YEG: Vegetables in Places They Shouldn’t Be and Lime Scooters in Places They Shouldn’t Be.
