The Sulphur River (Class II-III+) is a small canyon river sourcing from sulphur springs in Willmore Wilderness Park. The canyon is known for it's breathtaking beauty. In high water it's an exciting run with good rapids. In lower water the Sulphur River is sporty and technical with many holes and ledges to get around. Sheep Creek is a medium volume rain and snow fed creek, very steep and very fast. Ledges, squeezes and big nasty holes? - you will see them all. This one is Class III-IV. The Smoky River (Class I-II+) is a large volume braided river and is one of the main tributaries in the Arctic watershed. It sources at Mt. Robson glacier, and flows through the Grande Cache area to the Peace River. Mostly, the Smoky River rafting trip is scenic and relaxing. Wildlife sightings are common, and the Smoky River is surrounded by mountain vistas.
