About Us
Lazy Day Raft Rentals provides customers with the opportunity to experience Calgary’s local rivers at an affordable price. We are conveniently located at The Calgary Curling Club on Memorial Drive and have plenty of weekend parking. July and August rafting is popular on the Bow and Elbows. The Elbow is quite tranquil and is popular for tubing because in most places you can literally walk across the River. The Bow River is much wider, colder and has a strong current so rafts should be used in preferences to inner tubes.
For the Elbow River, start just below the Glenmore Dam, and sail down to Stanley Park or Lindsay Park. On the Bow, start at either Bearspaw Dam or Bowness Park, and float down to Princes Island Park. The Bow also has a weir (small dam) across the River, just below the Zoo. If you sail down this far, be sure to get to the right (south) bank where there is a portage across the dam.
Attention: Please note that persons occupying a vessel while on Calgary waterways must wear a life jacket (personal floatation device). This City of Calgary By-Law is enforced by the Calgary Police Service in conjunction with the Calgary Fire Department. The Calgary Fire Department regularly patrols the Bow River in a power boat and persons not in compliance with the life jacket ruling will be subject to fines.
