The Bow River Pathway is a fantastic multi-use trail system that follows the Bow River through Calgary, forming a key part of the city’s extensive pathway network. Largely paved and relatively flat, it links major parks and landmarks, including Prince’s Island Park and the downtown riverfront. Popular with walkers, runners and cyclists, it offers continuous river views with the Rocky Mountains visible to the west, especially on clear days.
