Water sports can be a blast in the summer! 🌊 If you plan on floating the Portneuf River, here are a few reminders from Portneuf River Vision.

👍 DO - wear a personal floatation device, use sun protection, bring a water bottle, and tell someone where you're going. Never go alone, and be sure to check the weather beforehand.

🚫 DON'T - bring electronic devices that aren't waterproof, bring glass bottles, or walk in the river if the water is moving quickly and more than 2 feet deep.

The Portneuf River is suitable for one or two person innertubes, kayaks, canoes, and stand up paddle boards. No motorized equipment. 🚣
