A certified and experienced local guide will lead you through the calm waters of Pyramid Lake, nestled at the foot of Pyramid Mountain, offering a glimpse into the classic Canadian mode of travel that has been in use for many years.
Before we embark, you’ll receive a brief on-land paddling tutorial and be equipped with a personal flotation device (PFD). Setting out from the sandy shores of Pyramid Lake Resort, you’ll embark on a journey lasting between 2.5 to 3 hours in a 25-foot, locally crafted cedar strip canoe. Designed for utmost stability and equipped with plenty of blankets and outerwear to keep you warm on cooler days, this canoe comfortably accommodates groups of up to six individuals.
The excursion takes you around a pristine mountain lake, providing stunning views of the Rocky Mountains, chances for wildlife sightings, and a mid-tour stop on the shore for a break. During this intermission, you’ll have the opportunity to stretch, enjoy snacks like fruit and baked treats, and partake in a coffee and tea service. If the weather permits, you might even take a dip at a sandy beach. The tour concludes with the final leg bringing us back to where we started.

Beautiful and Peaceful adventure - What an experience. From when Mike picked us up to Travis who took us on the beautiful handmade canoe itself, it was incredible. The personal touch / private guide adventure was just what we needed as a family of 4 with two teens. The cruise around the Lake was peaceful, where Travis showed us a few local spots around the water including wildlife and a private beach. Great conversation, local baked treats and beautiful surroundings. Thank you so much, highly recommend this to anyone and if we are ever back in this part of the world we will come back that’s a promise.

Awesome as always - This is the second time we did the trip on pyramid lake with Mike. This time we were joined by our friends. Was absolutely fantastic and real good fun, of course it rained, but this just added to the fun. Lots of laughs and memories made. If there is one thing you do in Jasper make this it you won’t be disappointed. We will be back for a third time I’m sure . Thanks again Mike

- We had an unforgettable experience!
Mike was very friendly and knew everything about the lake and the nature around it.
We heard (and saw) the wolf-like howl of a loon of a loon echoing across the water, spotted a majestic eagle soaring overhead, and followed it with Mike’s binoculars as it landed gracefully in a tree. We also found moose tracks along the shoreline.
The canoe glided silently across the lake while we took turns paddling or scanning the landscape for wildlife through the binoculars — it felt like a real nature expedition.
To top it all off, Mike surprised us with delicious cakes and blueberries to satisfy our mid-adventure cravings.
We spent 18 days exploring Canada, and this was hands down the highlight of our trip!

Texans in Canada. - My wife and I recently (June/July 2025) spent a little over two weeks vacationing in Canada. We visited Vancouver, Banff, Lake Louise, and Jasper. We saw some of the most beautiful countryside that God has ever touched; stayed in some of the finest hotels Western Canada has to offer, ate some of Canada's finest food while drinking some truly great Canadian wines. We experienced Great adventures by land and by sea. Without a doubt, however, one excursion stands out above all the rest and that's the few hours that we spent on Lake Pyramid with Wild Country Canoe Adventures and our guide Mike. Sure there are other lakes in Canada that are as pretty or maybe even prettier than Lake Pyramid, and there's certainly no shortage of canoes or guides in Canada. But none of the others have Mike. He's like a professional guide, wildlife expert, gentleman, cook, and best friend all wrapped up into one bundle. If you're planning to be in his neck of the woods and don't book a small group adventure with Mike and Wild Country Canoe Adventures, you'll never know what a truly great experience you missed. Absolutely an experience that we'll never forget.

A great way to end a busy day - Easily a 5 star experience. The guide was knowledgeable and informative who delivered his experience and expertise in a calm and professional manner.
It was a pleasure to meet with the guide and half way around he stopped and supplied a picnic made up of local produce which was fantastic.
This was not a seat of your pants river rafting. It was a serine tranquil relaxing paddle on the lake. The canoe used was a fantasticly crafted with hand made paddles. A great way to end a hard day’s adventure

Wonderful unique experience - What an amazing experience from start to finish. Communication prior was excellent.
Mike really looked after us so well and gave us all a wonderful experience we will never forget! It was just the 3 of us and Mike. We were given clear instructions and could either paddle or just take in the amazing scenery. Mike was very knowledgeable about the local wildlife and we saw moose tracks and a couple of eagles and some loons. Part way through we stopped to stretch our legs and have a hot drink and very tasty snacks. Perfect way the spend a relaxing morning. Don't hesitate - just book it you won't regret it.

Highlight of our two weeks in Jasper/Banff! - Mike was incredibly patient and encouraging when we had multiple questions before we booked the tour. One of the older members of our group wasn't sure if she was up for a paddle and getting into and out of the canoe. He reassured her that he really meant that she did not have to paddle. Kids and adults that wanted to paddle did and had a good time paddling. We had the lake to ourselves for nearly the entire paddle save a wedding party that canoed to their ceremony. Hearing the loons calls to each other and watching the babies climb off and on mom's back was memorable and it was so quiet--just the sounds of the water and the loons. Snacks and hot cocoa were also delicious. All of the superlatives in the other reviews are true. This was a very special, peaceful magical experience and the highlight of our two weeks in Jasper/Banff area.

Amazing Canoe tour - Mike is very knowledgeable and informative. He was flexible to postpone our trip to late afternoon after observing the weather for the day was not good for canoeing. We were lucky to spot a mama moose with 2 babies!! We had a great afternoon thanks to Wild Current Outfitters!

Fantastic canoe experience - We had the best time with Mike, he was very friendly,encouraging, and did everything possible to ensure we had a fantastic experience, which we did. I would definitely recommend. The scenery was superb, Mike pointed out different wildlife including an eagle, the break on a ‘private’ beach with hot chocolate and local produce was lovely. Definitely a highlight of our holiday.
