A Jasper canoe rental and guided tour outfit with a perfect rating, known for handmade canoes, knowledgeable guides on Pyramid Lake and easy canoe pickup at the launch for Maligne Lake camping trips.
Wild Current Outfitters runs guided canoe tours and canoe rentals in Jasper National Park. Tour guests describe a beautiful handmade canoe that feels very stable, a short but thorough paddling demonstration, and a relaxed pace on calm water. Almost every review is five stars.
The guide is the standout. Reviewers say he shares a lot about Pyramid Lake, local history and wildlife, pointing out eagles, loons and elk tracks. Tours include a snack break on a quiet beach, with lemonade or warm drinks and pastries from a local baker. Private tours are available, and a Grade 6 class said their field trip was safe and fun for first-time paddlers.
Rentals work well for backcountry trips. A camper heading to Coronet Creek on Maligne Lake found a canoe in good condition waiting at the launch, with clear communication and after-hours drop-off, and said it beat bringing their own boat. Wind and weather can change conditions quickly on mountain lakes, so ask your guide about timing.
