Currie's Guiding is a Jasper, Alberta–based outfitter specializing in self-guided canoe and rowboat rentals on Maligne Lake and a network of lakes across Jasper National Park. The company offers a range of watercraft including a 17' Clipper Spirit canoe for Maligne Lake and sturdy Scott freighter canoes for access to Fisherman's Bay and Coronet Creek campgrounds. Rentals include paddles and life jackets, and select locations provide fishing permits when required.
