Water activities

Find your zen or your thrill on Revy's lakes, rivers, and streams.

Revelstoke is a water lover’s playground! If there is one thing that goes with epic snowfall, it’s epic runoff. As the seasons change and the temperatures rise, the rivers and lakes around Revelstoke swell up with crisp, refreshing mountain water.

Swim in Williamson Lake, paddleboard on Lake Revelstoke, drift down the Columbia River in a canoe, or experience the thrill of whitewater in the Illecillewaet River. 

Revelstoke water enthusiasts recreate on the waters of four nations: the Sinixt, the Secwépemc, the Syilx and the Ktunaxa.
