Follow the Adventure & Enter to Win a Rafting Trip!
We’re still smiling about what a great season it was & what a season to celebrate! Our 2026 rafting season marked 50 years of wilderness and whitewater, and we’re honoured to have spent all those years getting people out on the river, making memories and sharing the adventure.
Another huge thank you to everyone who joined us this summer and helped make our 50th season one to remember. Whether you rafted the Kicking Horse River, Kootenay River or Toby Creek, we loved having you along for the adventure. From first-time rafters taking on epic whitewater and families making summer memories to returning guests coming back for another adventure—we loved every minute of it. And, of course, we couldn’t do it without our incredible crew!
One of our favourite parts of rafting is meeting new people and seeing familiar faces return year after year. Our crew love seeing guests back on the river just as much as we hear you love seeing the crew again! Guides like Bill, Zach, Ty and Quentin have become Kootenay legends, and the newer members of our crew brought plenty of their own energy, stories and adventure to the river this season.
Keep Following the Fun
The rivers may be quiet for now, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop! Follow Kootenay River Runners on Instagram, Facebook & YouTube to keep up with the adventures in the off-season.
We’ll be sharing favourite photos and memories from the season, behind-the-scenes fun with the crew, 50th-season highlights and plenty of river content to keep you dreaming about next summer.
