FAQs: Water Sports in Canada

What should I know about Water Sports Canada?

Canada is the northernmost country in North America, sharing a border with the United States to the south and west. Known for its wide open landscape and forested wilderness, this English and French speaking country has everything a thrill seeker could possibly want. Mountain-top glaciers run down into crisp rivers that cut through the jagged mountains and hillsides for a never-ending playground of gorges and canyons. From east to west and back again, all within proximity to major transportation hubs, canyoning tours are available and fulfilling. The grandeur provided by the wilderness adds a level of excitement to the trip, and canyon routes are notably long and rugged.

Why should I choose Canada for my Water Sports adventure?

Canadian Landscape!

Canada is a unique location, not just for its size and geography, but for the number of lakes and rivers. It contains a considerable amount of fresh water, much of it coming from its more than two million lakes. Add to that the forested regions spread across its countryside, and you are guaranteed to have an outdoor adventure in a true wilderness.

Wild Waterfalls!

The bounty of rivers carving their way across Canada means a substantial amount of waterfalls, each with their own unique features. Some, like those at Agawa Canyon in Ontario, are more scenic than active. Others, like the 15- to 40-meter waterfalls of Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive, are a thrilling adventure. Destination waterfalls can be found as far west as Banff, Lake Louise, and beyond. Pick your desired canyon terrain and Canada will provide you with a tailored natural program just for you.

Geological Gems!

Canyoning combines a few different activities - swimming, climbing, abseiling, jumping - through waterways and rocky routes. These have a natural connection to the mountains, of which Canada notoriously possesses in bulk. By slipping across the rocks of Squamish and Vancouver, you are experiencing the a rare side of the Coast Mountains. You can say the same for the Rockies and the Laurentians. The historic make up of Canada's ranges provides a few different ways to explore the country - canyoning is one of the best ways to do so.
