We make every tour extra.
Dinner at DNA Gardens after paddling the incredible Red Deer River? Absolutely!
What a wonderful way to round out a day. Artisan pizzas, fresh picked salads, homemade pie, and even fancy beverages straight from their distillery. Spectacular!

Headed to the river again this weekend. Seven of us paddling from Content to Tolman. Approximately 62km of beautful scenery and spectacular rock formations. We will be staying overnight at Trenville Park Campground, our favorite place to camp. A special visit to DNA Gardens for a self guided tour followed by an exceptional meal will make this trip even better.
Be advised cell range is sketchy so I'll likely only be able to get your messages sporadically. If i don't get back to you right away, it's likely because I'm out of range.
If youre also out on the water this weekend, be safe, remember your safety gear, wear your pfd, and have fun.
Happy paddling!

Joint effort by the Badlands Search and Rescue Service, South Eastern Alberta Search and Rescue Association, and Rcmp to Search for an overdue canoe party. Search ended the best way possible. Thank you to the amazing people that provide this service to help keep us all safe on the river.

I never leave shore without a few things. Not just for me, not just what's required by law, but a few extra things to ensure my guests and myself can stay safe on the water and focus on having fun.
This weekend one particular item I bring along proved invaluable for a search and rescue group on the water that was looking for people that were not members of our party. Our Garmin Inreach Explorer+ emergency satellite communication device was the item. A bit bulkier than other models, it has better texting ease and I find it more durable too. Maps, way points, email, text, weather, and more, the unit is my best choice for assisting navigation in remote areas as well as staying connected with civilization.
Ill save the details of events on the river because the persons in need of assistance were not ours, nor is it any of our business. We respect people's privacy. What i can share, is that when we saw the low flying RCMP helicopter sweeping the river and then saw the amazing South Eastern Alberta Search and Rescue Association vessel, we were concerned they were not just doing a training exercise, but rather someone was in trouble somewhere and in need of help. Indeed, that was the case.
We paddled over, offered to assist (we were on the river all weekend and saw many paddlers the day before and as many know, I know that section of the Red Deer River like the back of my hand) The wonderful Search and Rescue Team were having a bit of communication troubles to the command center with their satalite device I offered the use of my trusty Garmin. It worked. Simple texting using the Garmin Explorer+, the S&R crew were able to get a better description of persons needing help, get updates on search progress, and instructions carrying on. Feels good to be a teeny part in a big operation like that.
Safety on the river and other remote areas starts with being prepared.
You can find used, affordable Garmin devices and other similar makes on Marketplace. Subscription costs are as low a $20/month. We keep is with us paddling, camping, hiking, skiing, and even in the glove box of the pickup when driving in the winter. You may not have cell range, but you'll almost always have satellite range. Be safe. Be able to call for help.
Make the investment. Carry an emergency communication device. It could save your, or sometime else's life.

Hi how, hi ho, it's off to the river we go!
We are out of cell range Saturday and Sunday but will be checking our msgs in the evenings. Facebook Msg and email is best bet. Sorry, there is no rentals this weekend as all of us are away or paddling the river.
Have a safe and enjoyable weekend everyone. :)
