Kayaking at 'Hollywood Hole' along the Kananaskis River

The Kananaskis, Bow, and Elbow rivers play an important role in Calgary's tourist and recreation industry, providing a natural retreat within our backyard that attracts world-class athletes and fishermen from around the world. Although most Calgarians appreciate the rivers for these qualities, few are aware of their potentially destructive forces.

Of all the rivers in the Calgary area, the Kananaskis is the most heavily controlled by hydroelectric dams throughout its watershed.
