The Western Headworks Canal Pathway follows the edge of the irrigation canal east of Calgary, offering a flat, easy route with open prairie views and steady water alongside. The gravel path is straightforward and suits walking, running, or cycling, with long sightlines and minimal elevation change. It’s a simple connector through the southeast edge of the city and a calm alternative to the busier river pathways.
