Bow Valley Provincial Park sits at the entrance to Kananaskis Country, where the Bow River cuts between steep limestone cliffs and forested hills. The park features an easy network of trails that lead to viewpoints, wetlands, and river lookouts, with highlights like the Flowing Water Trail and Middle Lake.
It’s also a popular spot for camping, wildlife viewing, and short day hikes, offering a perfect introduction to the mountain landscapes just west of Calgary.
