Beste tijd om te bezoeken

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.

Budgettips

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.

Over

Korte feiten: De rivier van gouden dromen verbindt Alta Lake met Green Lake en slingert door 4 kilometer moerasland en bos. Kanovaarders delen dit water met bevers, otters en af en toe een zwarte beer langs de oevers.

Hoogtepunten: Op het smalste punt is de rivier slechts 3 meter breed, waardoor kanovaarders door een tunnel van overhangende wilgentakken moeten manoeuvreren. In de late middagzon kleurt het water glinsterend amber, gekleurd door tannines die uit cederwortels lekken en de rivier zijn gouden naam geven.

Insidertips

  • 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.
