    Tips

    November 15, 2025

    This elevated viewing platform overlooks the clear pond at Many Springs, offering peaceful views of the surrounding forest and nearby mountain ridges. The water here is remarkably transparent, and if you look closely at the bottom of the pond, you can see warm spring water bubbling up through the lakebed, creating subtle ripples in the sand. It’s an easy, accessible stop along the loop trail and one of the most unique natural features in Bow Valley Provincial Park.

      Look closely at the bottom of the lake and you will see the warm spring waters seeping through.
