It’s warming up out there!

4:24 PM, Posted by Unknown, No Comment

The spring has finally started to show itself around here resulting in the river levels rising these last few days. This will be a good chance for the guides, old and new, to get out and do a few scouting/training runs. It also gives them the chance to revue and practice with the safety equipment. It’s something we do every year.

In order to make our tours as safe as possible, we have several early season runs down the river before our first trip with our guests. Over the winter new obstacles can appear. With the number of beavers in the area there is always the possibility that a new tree could be in the river or a new downed tree that will break free once the river rises. With some of the narrow channels on the river they could easily become blocked with a new obstacle and pose a hazard.

White water rafting looks like it's all fun and games, but behind the scenes at Otter Rafting Adventures it is ALWAYS - Safety first - Fun second. We want you and yours to have the best day of your summer knowing we always have your safety in mind.
Let's go and GET WET!

Rafting Report for the beginning of May

9:22 PM, Posted by Unknown, One Comment

The snow pack in the mountains is still building.
The monitoring station at Skoki Lodge, which is located near the main source of the Red Deer River, is indicating the snow is still coming down in the mountains. The snow pack is actually above the normal range of levels, well above last years depths. When high water comes, you’ll want to be out on it.
Hang on tight – this is going to be quite a ride!
Great Day on the River
