I haven't floated the Bow River in decades, but when I was younger we used to put a boat in near Fish Creek Park and would float to MacKinnons Flats. Caught plenty of fish and loved it.

Back in the day there was a service that would drive your vehicle down there for you, so you could basically get your boat and gear organized on the upstream end, and then several hours later when you arrived at MacKinnons your vehicle was there waiting for you.

Does that service still exist? Any recommendations or contacts for this?

Try Fish Tales fly shop they will know. Also the road down to McKinnon was rebuilt last fall, ask about that as well.

The road to McKinnon's Flats is a big improvement. Washboard on the steep sections unavoidable but good road now

Thanks everyone. Glad to hear that this option is available. I'll have to go for that float trip this summer for sure.

Cheers. :happy0180:
