The Bow river runs through Calgary and on a summer’s weekend chances are there’ll be loads of rafts and inflatable dinghys enjoying a leisurely float from up by Bowness down to the Zoo. Don’t go beyond the Zoo – there’s a weir and a few people have gone over it but not many have survived. I and some of my TW friends managed to get out before the weir and good fun it was. Good fun, good weather and almost no physical exertion. Thems the good times.
We had paddles but pretty much only used them to get out into the current. From then on down you just go with the flow. If you are in Calgary in the summertime then this is definitely highly recommended.
