The City of Fort Saskatchewan is pleased to announce that the boat launch at West River’s Edge is now open for the 2026 season.

Situated along the scenic North Saskatchewan River, the launch offers convenient access for boaters, paddlers, and anglers eager to get back on the water. With nearby trails, picnic areas, and washroom facilities, West River’s Edge is also an ideal spot for families and outdoor enthusiasts to spend the day.

Boaters are reminded to check river conditions, follow all safety guidelines, and ensure their watercraft are properly registered and equipped.
