We are located on the shores of the Slave River along a historic portage route which led fur traders around the rapids that we now love to play in.
The Slave River Rapids are a playboaters’ paradise and a dream for big volume whitewater paddlers. This is a drop-pool river—in-between the four main ledges, there are sections of flatwater. This means that our river has paddling opportunities for everyone, from beginner routes on flatwater to extreme grade V and VI rapids. The river slowly flows from south to north through sandy topography, which results in turbid warm water that is nearly bathtub temperature by July-August!
This section of the Slave is also extremely beautiful. It is the northern-most nesting ground for American White Pelicans, and we often paddle past these majestic birds.
Our club has been active for over 25 years, and has been offering pool sessions and river clinics during that time. Not just kayaking, we are into canoeing, rafting, paddleboarding, and sport-specific paddling disciplines such as polo, slalom, and freestyle! Become a club member, and join us on the water!
Our club is the best source of local knowledge about the Slave River Rapids. If you plan to come paddling here, please do contact us. We can help set you up with a paddling partner or the information you need to paddle safely. Paddling with a local guide is strongly advised, as many places could be dangerous if one doesn’t know the routes.
