Astrid,

Here is the link to check water levels for the Athabasca River.

There are many measuring stations so that you can get an idea of the water level at different points on the trip. It is also possible to the the average flow rate for the months of the year. This should give you a general idea of where the water levels might be.

Hope you have a great trip and those guys in Fort Mac are a bunch of crazy canucks.

780 791-5565 call me if you need a beer and lift to the airport.

Have fun in the shallow Jasper Lake. Hopefully you don't have to walk too much.

Hope you know where the rapids are between Athabasca and Fort McMurray.
One person has died there this year.
