Tips from the Community
Jackrabbit Trail is a narrow, unpaved singletrack that runs along the south shore of the Glenmore Reservoir within Weaselhead Flats Natural Environment Park through open grass and scattered shrubs. There are occasional views over the reservoir and several access points that are ideal for quick access back to the wider trail network. As an informal route within the park, it’s a lovely, quieter and more natural alternative to the main pathways.

This section of the riverside path along the Bow River offers a quiet place to pause beside the water. A bench here looks out over the broad river as it flows past Cochrane, making it a pleasant spot to sit and take in the view. The Bow River is known for its clear, glacier-fed water flowing from the Rocky Mountains. While people sometimes wade along the shoreline in summer, the current can be strong and the water stays very cold year-round, so entering the river should be done with caution.

The Western Headworks Canal Pathway follows the edge of the irrigation canal east of Calgary, offering a flat, easy route with open prairie views and steady water alongside. The gravel path is straightforward and suits walking, running, or cycling, with long sightlines and minimal elevation change. It’s a simple connector through the southeast edge of the city and a calm alternative to the busier river pathways.

The Weaselhead Natural Area spans over 237-hectares. Due to its location at the Elbow River Delta, the nature reserve and city park is known for its diverse wildlife with over 200 species of birds and mammals such as bears, moose and beavers. The area, which was formerly used for military purposes, was developed in the 1980s and now offers hiking and biking trails, wetlands and forests as an urban retreat for nature observation and outdoor activities.

An absolutely beautiful, kilometer-long valley in the south of Calgary. There is a bike path and several hiking trails through the area. In many places you can get to the water.
