Gather your inflatables, SUPs, tubes, and other 'floaty' things for a little float down the Elbow.
We will meet Thursday, August 20th, at 7:00 pm at Stanley Park, after floating down the Elbow River from Sandy Beach.
At 7:25 pm we will take a group photo at Stanley Park.
At 7:30 pm please make your own arrangements to get back to the parking lot at Sandy Beach if needed.
For those who will float there, it takes 30-45 minutes from the Sandy Beach put-in.
Please see the waypoints for parking locations and where to put-in and take-out.
- Please register for this event by logging your 'Will Attend' with the number of people in your group.
- Registration will be closed if/when attendance reaches 100.
- City of Calgary restrictions for lakes, rivers and reservoir require that we must maintain physical distancing.
- No travelbugs please.
- If you are feeling ill the day of the event, please stay home.
WATERCRAFT REQUIREMENTS:
- Each person must wear a properly-fitting life jacket or personal flotation device. (City by-law)
- A sound-signaling device (whistle, air-horn, bell)
- A paddle
- A rope that floats (e.g. polypropylene) for rescue or to pull your craft to safety
- A bailing device for sit-in crafts
PLEASE NOTE: The water level is reasonable, so it should be suitable for low-draft canoes or kayaks. Pool inflatables might not be durable enough for the gravel river bed.

For those who wish to bike there, the Elbow River pathway goes right by both locations.
