Nice walk without having to leave the city.
It’s a little icy make sure you have good foot wear
Stuck basically to Edworthy park and the upper level dog bark along Sarcee. I think every resident person and dog in the city was there today. Some great trails in the trees going up to the upper parts but don’t go that way unless you like slipping and doing a complete face plant...in mud. Take the front part that is open to the sun instead. Didn’t go as far along the walkway as I would’ve liked ( covered in said mud) but a great day to be out anyways. Enjoy !
Amanda L. on Glenmore Reservoir Trail
Great nature walk right in the city. Paved paths the entire way with cutoffs for more “natural” paths. Lots of access to the water. Only rated 3 stars because a good chunk of the trail runs right along a highway.. the fumes and traffic took away from the peaceful experience just a bit! Still an amazing trail system right in the city!
Nice ride off the Bow River trail. A paved, shared pathway all the way terminating at 96 Ave near the Blue Ring. Mostly flat with a few moderate hills and although you pass some light industrial areas, they are balanced by golf courses and open space along the creek. West Nose Creek (Confluence) Park at the north end is an interesting natural area complete with a big glacial erratic.
Great trail! Bit of snow still on the western part, had to walk the bike about 100m :)
The walk here was absolutely amazing. What better way to share your day with a loved one than walking along the path in the fall ? After we sat on the docks and enjoyed each others time, eating snacks and watching the sailboats. Highly recommend for anyone to get out and enjoy this welcoming park. Alot of bikes and people but still fun. Looking forward to our next visit.
Another nice leisurely ride and a great trail to introduce someone new to cycling. Has some minor elevation gain, but nothing too serious - biggest gain is coming out of Weaselhead Nature Park area and the approach to Foothills Hospital when traveling in a clockwise direction. A very pleasant ride and one that will only take 1 to 1.5 hours to complete.
I took my 1.5 year old son with his Thule bike trailer. I am not fit or active in any consistent way and this trail was definitely advanced for me but the pride I felt in doing the full loop (from north glen more park, clockwise) was amazing. The views are beautiful and it took me roughly 2.5 hours to complete. It was a hot day but the no shade areas weren’t so bad.
We rode our bikes clockwise on the trail experiencing 3 steep inclines. The path was beautifully created through a mature deciduous forest that was starting to show its fall colours. The views of the foothills and mountains and the water made for great views. Stopped at Heritage Park for coffee. Will do again for sure!
Easy trail good for anyone to use. It's especially nice along the creek. Plenty of wildflowers.
Loved it!
Really nice would go again. A bit busy but to be expected on a weekend. Highly recommend!
Great 20km walk with my dog from Bowness to downtown and back. Many other trailheads connected to the Bow River Pathway along the way. We stopped downtown at McDonalds for a pop and continued back. Stops along the way at the river so my dog could get a drink.
We did combine Nose Creek and Downtown with this. Our goal was Tim’s Montgomery for a well earned donut and coffee. Very good ride of 60 km return. Scenery along Bow River is spectacular and the Calgary skyline is memorable. Through the core it can get busy. Got off bikes to walk through Eau Clare.
Very good trail. Weaves through natural park and alongside the contours of Nose Creek. Have done this many times commuting to/from work and with the family enroute to the zoo or Eau Clare. Just a word of caution (ok two) use your bell and be aware of bikers in the middle of speed time trials.
Completed on bike as a nice evening out. A few big hills on either side of Weaselhead to keep in mind.
Police incident at the weaselhead flats bridge (evening of August 20) - several cop cars and the forensic truck! They must have found a DB. Haven’t read anything about it in the news yet.
Beautiful views especially during sunset. Great place to take dogs in the city but can be overcrowded during the weekends
Can be over populated but like to escape out to this trail anytime I can. I do this trail on average once a month and recommend it if you want to get out and do something easy
