The South Ram River represents one of Alberta's few multi-day whitewater expeditions, flowing from the Rockies through dramatic scree canyons inhabited by bighorn sheep. This advanced trip features predominantly Class I-II water punctuated by challenging Class IV-V drops and canyon sections, including the unrun Ram Falls. The remote wilderness experience offers exceptional mountain scenery and wildlife viewing, but requires expert skills and self-sufficiency. Access involves difficult portaging and potential locked gates, making trip planning complex.
Ram River is estimated at Advanced. Whitewater ratings are not exact: grades change with water level and season. Verify current conditions locally before you paddle.
The best time is July-August.
Ram River is located in the Alberta region of Canada.
