Im new(er) to Calgary and havent been rafting since being a tourist here years ago.

For both the Elbow and Bow, where do you get on and off the river?

For the Elbow, I know you can get off by Lindsay Park and that you get on the river after the reservoir. But where exactly by the reservoir do you get on? Where can we leave a car and is there a park or something where you get on? Street names would be great.

For the Bow, I know about the weir. Again, can you provide specifics of where in the NW you would get on the river and where before the weir to get out. I run along the path by the river in Inglewood. I see people getting in the river after the weir. How far south do most people go down the river? Is it better to raft starting or ending at the weir?

Thanks for your help. And like I said, being new, Id really appreciate specifs on streets where to park and get in/out of the river.
