Canoeing & Kayaking
Nestled between two heritage rivers
Golden is located at the confluence of two historic rivers, the Kicking Horse River and the Columbia River flow. Explore the whitewater of the Kicking Horse on guided rafting tours, and paddle the beautiful wetlands of the Columbia River. What's more, numerous lakes and tributaries can be found in the surrounding backcountry making it a great place for canoeing and kayaking opportunities.
