Bow River Path

Highlight • Viewpoint

The headwaters of the Bow River are located in the Canadian Rockies north of Banff National Park. The river forms the outflow of Bow Lake. This is fed by the meltwater of the Bow Glacier. The Bow River initially flows 80 km south-southeast through the mountains. He then turns east and passes through the small towns of Banff and Canmore. At the foot of the Rocky Mountains, the river is dammed up to Ghost Lake. The Bow River passes through the city of Cochrane and then flows through the conurbation of Calgary. It continues in a predominantly easterly direction through the prairie landscape of Alberta

Prince's Island Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Prince's Island Park is a recreational park located north of downtown Calgary on an island in the Bow River.

The park is named after Peter Anthony Prince, the founder of Eau Claire Lumber Mill. It was established in 1947 by the Prince family. The park covers 20 hectares and features several pedestrian bridges that connect directly to downtown Calgary. In addition to green spaces and parkland, it offers benches and views of the Calgary skyline. Canada geese and mallards have made the park their home.

Split Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

A great split boulder lies along the path, around 2-3 times the height of a person. It was likely deposited here by glacial activity thousands of years ago, but today stands amid rolling green fields as a lonely natural memory of a previous age.

Nose Creek Park

Highlight • Natural

Nose Creek Park preserves a beautiful stretch of the upper creek valley in northwest Calgary. Its unpaved, informal trails wind alongside the creek, weaving through grasslands and wetland areas. Unlike the more developed parks downstream, this space offers a more natural experience. The setting is open and minimally developed, with native vegetation and plenty of wildlife that reflect the typical prairie environment of Calgary.
