Connect with nature and enjoy the quiet, while you might spot some wild horse, elk, moose, wolfs, lynx, porcupine, beavers, otters bold and golden eagle, back and grizzly bears and many more wildlife.

We will leave from Mount Logan Lodge or meet you at the starting point of our tour. Starting point of our beautiful canoeing tour is at the start of the Takhini River at Kusawa Lake. The river is relatively calm as it winds its way down the valley. There is also an opportunity for some fun, running the rapids called the jaws of death (the locals call them the gums of death as it is really not that dangerous).
