Had an Amazing time with County Waters Kayaking this past weekend. Fantastic trip down the Red Deer River. Jme is an excellent guide and fabulous host!!!! Very organized operation. They have everything you need all ready for you. Great for beginners as well. Highly recommend. So much to see. The river is so beautiful something different to view every 5 minutes. Had a fabulous time. Thanks for the awesome experience. I will do again for sure. Sooooooo on Sept 28/24 I just went on my second all day kayak with County Waters Kayaking. This time to Two Jack Lake. Absolutely amazing. Can’t wait for the next one. Thanks Jme.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

The process of arranging the expedition was simple and all instructions and directions to the launch area, prior to the date were on point!

Jaime (possibly spelled the name wrong) was honestly just the best! She strikes me as a straight to the point and no messing around kind of gal, she provided plenty of conversation and humour throughout the lake tour and made sure to include the quieter paddlers in conversation so they wouldn't feel left out!

Safety is the number one priority, as it should be!

All equipment was provided (except for water shoes) and at a reasonable enough rate that my hubby and I can budget to do it every now and then, even when adding the cost of childcare to the evening!

I am excited to check out another one of the lakes!

Highly recommend!

*editing to add that my husband and I have never been kayaking before this and he's not overly comfortable with water, so we were true beginners prior to going and Jaime made it a breeze!

Jamie, the owner, is so passionate about kayaking! I have loved going out with her groups. She had such a helpful, caring spirit and I felt safe and cared for even as a “newbie”.

If you want to begin to experience kayaking for the first time, I totally recommend Jme!! She is very knowledgeable, safety oriented & organized!!! No detail is left out!! Even a dry bag & camera case are supplied. The lakes she has chosen are absolutely beautiful!! It great to meet new, like minded people. I would totally recommend County Waters Kayaking!!

Always such a positive experience out on the water with County Waters Kayaking. Jme knows her lakes and does a great job ensuring we see wildlife and/or the beauty of nature on every trip.
Equipment provided is in good condition and safety is of utmost importance.
Our daughter and I continue to go Kaysking often!

Just wanted to send out a kudos to County Waters Kayaking. My sister, who was visiting from Saskatoon, and I had a great time paddling on chain lakes with Jme Andrew. I’m a pretty novice kayaker and she made me feel very comfortable on the water. My mobility is somewhat challenged due to a knee injury and she knew exactly how to guide me in and out of the kayak. We really got to appreciate the beauty of the lake, and it felt so good to be on the water where you could escape the heat for a few hours, see some wildlife and just relax in nature.

Bonus she recommended we visit Ellis Nature Centre in Lacombe, which we did the next day with our mom and dad. We totally loved. If you head out that way definitely try the strawberry peach pie at the tea house. So Good!
