Mejor época para visitar

Late afternoon, when the low sun creates a golden glow on the water after which the river was named. June and July offer the most pleasant temperatures and the clearest water.

Consejos para el presupuesto

Renting a kayak or canoe costs around 60-80 CAD per person from local operators. Save money by bringing your own kayak or canoe if you have one, since river access is free.

Acerca de

Datos rápidos: El río de los Sueños Dorados conecta el lago Alta con el lago Green, serpenteando a través de 4 kilómetros de pantanos y bosques. Los remeros comparten estas aguas con castores, nutrias y ocasionalmente osos negros avistados en las orillas.

Destacados: En su punto más estrecho, el río se reduce a solo 3 metros de ancho, obligando a los remeros a abrirse paso a través de un túnel de ramas de sauce colgantes. El agua se vuelve de un ámbar brillante al sol de la tarde, coloreada por los taninos que se filtran de las raíces de cedro, lo que da al río su nombre dorado.

Consejos de expertos

  • Bring a waterproof bag for your camera because the best photos are possible right from the water, and surprise showers are common even in summer.
  • Start early in the morning to avoid crowds and have the best chances of seeing beavers and herons.
  • Wear waterproof sandals or water-resistant shoes because you will definitely get water in the boat when passing through the rapids.
  • Finish paddling before dusk because the weather in the canyons changes quickly and can become cold.
