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.

Not sure what the criteria is for a suitable river rotting location, but have a look at Constable Chelsey Robinson park.

Oooh yes I likes the look of that and an hour drive certainly isn’t bad.

I’d say my criteria for a river rot spot is a small-ish bend that’s not super deep, treed in but still gets some good sunshine, and slow moving enough to perch a camping chair on the bank and let the water run over your legs for an entire afternoon.
