Did you know that you can explore Sturgeon River on glow-in-the-dark kayaks?
Edmonton Kayaks
Edmonton Kayaks (Illuminated Escapes) which rented transparent kayaks from Sir Wilfred Laurier Park in 2021, moved to St. Albert last year.
Patrons can explore Sturgeon River on kayaks made of polycarbonate resin equipped with LED lights from Riel Recreation Park. The kayaks light up or “glow-in-the-dark,” and you can take your date night or nighttime adventure to a whole new level.
Edmonton Kayaks rents single-seater and tandem transparent kayaks that are fully illuminated with colourful LED lights, making your dusk nighttime paddle safer- and simply cooler overall.
The kayaks are equipped with Bluetooth speakers, safety gear, and paddles. Plus, the Edmonton Kayaks pros provide a 10-minute paddle orientation before you launch.
If you are looking for regular kayaks and canoes, you can rent them from Rural Rivers.
