    The Widowmaker Trail in Kananaskis Country is a short, steady hike that follows the Kananaskis River upstream near Barrier Lake. The trail begins at the Widowmaker day-use area, named after a powerful stretch of whitewater popular with kayakers and rafters. As you hike, you’ll pass through mixed forest with frequent river views and the sound of rushing water beside you. It’s an easy-to-moderate route, perfect for a quick outing or to watch paddlers tackle the rapids below.
