The Experience
Here at Riverside Rafting, we provide a simple & easy way to go rafting with online booking and convenient pick-up and drop-off right by the Bow River in Calgary, Alberta.
Floating down the river, Riverside Rafting offers a fun experience for the whole family to enjoy outside in the water on a hot summer day. When you rent a raft from us, you will raft from Shouldice Athletic Park down to St. Patrick’s Island (Takes about 2-3 hours) where you will find a truck and our staff waiting for you to return the raft to give you the most convenient experience possible.
Just sit back and let the river do the rest!
How It Works
Book the time and day you want and pick the size of the raft you want.
You can download/print out the waiver form and sign it to help speed things up once you’ve arrived. Everyone going on the raft will require a waiver.
On the day of your booking, please arrive 10-15 minutes early. Once you arrive at the Shouldice Park & Ride Lot, you will have to provide all completed waivers or fill out waivers at the launch site.
Once you are ready, you will be brought to your raft, read the rules, given a safety talk and sent off down the Bow River.
When you reach St. Patrick’s Island Park, keep and eye out on the left for the Riverside Rafting flag to know where to get out. You will then bring the raft to the parking lot and drop the raft off at the Riverside Rafting truck, where the staff will take the raft off your hands, give the raft a inspection and you’ll be good to go once the inspection passes.
If you are looking to book a raft for multiple days or a full day, please call to book.
