Whether it is the heatwave of summer or the deep freeze of winter floating or skiing the 12 km stretch between the Cynthia Bridge and the Easyford Park on the Pembina River is an experience for that backyard bucket list.

Distance 12 km

Float time 8hrs – 10hrs

Getting there

From Drayton Valley you take Hwy 22 north, and turn west onto Hwy 621. About 1 km beyond RR 85 you will come upon the Pembina River Bridge on the Cynthia Highway.  Just before the bridge on the south side of the road there is a small parking lot. There are no designated access points to the trail. Accessing on cross the highway on the north side is doable but this is a busy highway and westbound vehicles are not easily seen until they have crested the hill on the approach to the bridge.
