Following the curve of the Elbow River through central and southwest Calgary, this paved multi-use path links several parks, including Sandy Beach Park and River Park. It’s a scenic urban route lined with cottonwoods and river views, ideal for walking, cycling, or running year-round. Benches and picnic areas along the way make it easy to stop and enjoy the sound of the river flowing past.
