The Bow River runs clear and fast through Calgary, cutting a wide path between forested banks and city parkland. Known for its turquoise colour and strong current, it’s one of Alberta’s most recognizable rivers. Trails line much of its length within the city, offering easy access for hiking or cycling with frequent views of the skyline, bridges, and nearby wildlife along the water’s edge.

Fish Creek Provincial Park is one of Canada’s largest urban provincial parks, spanning a long natural valley within Calgary and preserving forest, wetlands, and grassland. The park features more than 100 kilometres of connected paved and unpaved pathways and trails that wind through diverse ecosystems along Fish Creek and its tributaries.

Bow River Pathway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Following both banks of the Bow River through Calgary, the Bow River Pathway forms part of a city-wide trail network stretching for approximately 48 kilometres. This section passes through the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary, where the river supports a rich mix of forest, wetland, and wildlife habitat. Wide paved paths and regular river views make it one of the most enjoyable places in the city for walking, cycling, and wildlife watching.
