What is the best river to run?
In Fernie we are blessed with two whitewater rivers that can be during the spring time. Both rivers are great class III IV rivers. The Bull River is of small volume and thus is the best to run during the spring run off period, May through June. The Elk River being of larger volume remains great to run all summer long. As the water starts to drop, we have more opportunity to swim in the pools that form between the rapids, cliff jump, and enjoy the spectacular scenery. In May and June we have many rafters who come and run both rivers on their weekend.
