That was another great river trip from Red Deer to Sundre. I thought it would have been longer. I enjoy watching your trips. I get right into it lol Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. This is a pretty part of Alberta. Coal Camp is a tiny community west of Sundre... it makes for a short day trip. I hope to do the trip from Sundre to Red Deer next year. That one would probably be a three day trip. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Take care.
Hi Nick, your videos are great and they inspired me to do some river trips like this in 2025. I have done slow stretches on NSR with a kevlar canoe but it's more of a lake orientated one. I've ordered a more river canoe and am planning on building up my skills this year. Are you self taught? or have you built up experience over time or trail/error? Can't wait for spring and some new vids from you! 🤘
Another beautiful trip with a few tricky spots to navigate. There are places where the river spreads out into several small shallow streams and then just a minute later they all converge and turn into a substantial river. I love watching it change like that. When I saw you post this video I was half expecting a smoky sky but it looks spectacularly clear and blue. Perfect weather for a day on the river. Thanks for sharing a peaceful trip down the Red Deer.
Thanks very much Robbie. This was a nice September day, mostly sunny and not much wind. The water levels were fairly low and it made it interesting in terms of choosing the best channel. At this water level, it seemed like a very dynamic river. It was shallow, but thankfully I did not hit many rocks or bottom out. Yes, no smoke during this trip!! It had been hazy recently, but clear on this day. Thanks again, take care.
Yeah it was a nice run with good current for the most part. I got lucky with a pretty nice day too. Possibly the last paddle of the year. Thanks, take care.
Hiya Nick, Hope all is well with you? I'm doing ok. Your summer canoe journeys' s must be coming to an end soon eh? Safe travels Nick. Until next time my friend...stay safe. ❤️🙏🏼
Hi Miller. Yeah everything is good here, doing well. I hope you had a nice summer too. Yes, the canoeing season is closing quick, maybe one more trip if I am lucky. Always nice to hear from you Miller, take care.
Hey Nick, very relaxing trip. I must say I really appreciate when you tell us where you start and where your takeout point is because right away I grab my phone and I look for those locations. Thank you for another exciting video! Frank--Alberta
Yeah this is a relaxed trip compared to the sections above. It makes for a nice day trip. Documenting the rivers is my objective. I'm glad to hear that you look up the locations. Thanks Frank, I appreciate you taking the time.
This was a nice day on the river. All of the large rapids are upstream of this put-in, but there is potential for some sweepers and logjams. All in all, it is a very nice section. Thanks for taking the time, take care.
Hey Nick, it’s Jamie. Can’t get into my other UA-cam account, had to create this one. Glad to see you’re getting some excellent trips in this year. Thanks for sharing and be safe out there.
Great to hear from you Jamie. I hope all is well, and you are playing lots of guitar :) I also hope you are getting some canoe trips in too. Take care man.
Hi Greg. It was a nice run in late season flows. There is good current for most of the run, though it does slow in the second half. I got lucky with a mostly sunny day and not much wind. I hope you are having a nice September. Have you been out fishing lately?
@@nickharland3795 its excellent, thanks. Been out checking on the walleye but don't seem to be in the fall run yet. I'll let you know if I find them, you'd be welcome to join.
Hey Nick, Love your videos by the way. When you say the river is 28 cm/s, is that a speed or is it like volume cm3? Just curious also how you measure that? Thanks!
Thank you very much, I appreciate it. It is a description of volume. 28 cubic meter per second. The provincial government has a website that monitors river levels and flow rates. They have gauges set up that calculate river width, depth and speed in order to determine the volume. That is where I get all my numbers.
Yeah it was a nice run at this lower level. Three hours maximum. I took a few breaks and never really noted my start time, but I'm sure the paddling time was less than three hours.

Hay Up Yonder Nick ! Wonderful Day For Slipping The Paddle In The River ! Thanks For This From Down East Friend ! ATB T God Bless
It was a wonderful day for some paddling Terry. A perfect fall day, and enough water in the river for canoeing. Take care my friend.
Always been a fan, so enjoy your river adventures…
Thanks so much Jim.
Thanks for sharing, Nick. Looks like it was a great paddle!! Cheers!
It's my pleasure. It was indeed a great day on the water. Thanks, Cheers!!
Looks like a nice fun run Nick! Well done man!

That’s a nice stretch. Have done plenty of sections in the badlands never this part further upstream. Adding that to the 2025 itinerary! Thanks!

Thanks Nick, always fun to go along with you on the river.
Thanks BD.
lovely fall day for a paddle.
It was indeed. Thanks Jim.
Another great paddle thanks for sharing .
Thanks very much Kim.
Nice trip!!
Thanks for taking the time.
Nice run, I wish I could have joined in. Looks like a perfect trip, thank you!

Sounds great!
Do you know the cms the day you paddled this run?
Take care
It was 27-28 cms on this day. Thanks, take care.

Such a beautiful river. How long did it take you?
Yeah it was a nice run at this lower level. Three hours maximum. I took a few breaks and never really noted my start time, but I'm sure the paddling time was less than three hours.
Is that in the area that the grizzly bear attacks occurred
That would have been a fair distance up-river from here. In or around the Banff National Park boundary I think.
