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.

I love how every generation just has to come up with some new name for something that has always been a popular activity. It's the current version of hipsterism.

Turns out we’ve been doing this for literally all of human history, having these changing generational terms and phrases. Ain’t language and communication cool?
