Canoe Trip on the North Saskatchewan

[cheese&quackers]

Hi All,

A couple years ago I went on two different overnight canoe trips with school near Fort McMurray. One along the Clearwater and one up the Athabasca.

I am interested in doing one on the North Saskatchewan (probably not till next summer as this summer has already run away from me), and was looking for any tips or information people had about the river.

Originally I was thinking of going from a boat launch inside Edmonton (possibly Emily Murphy park by the University) and ending up near Waskatenau where HWY 831 crosses the river (since I have family near there that would be able to pick me up).

Thanks in advance,
