They also have a room that is great for hosting events. In addition, they also have an ice cream truck that comes to the lake. The lake has boats you can rent such as paddle boards or peddle boats. Very fun and nice lake.

It's only a short an enjoyable drive from Calgary, making it an excellent spot to go for a Sunday cruise. Serene when looking one direction, as you can see the mountains beginning, and then excitingly badass when you look towards the giant dam that sometimes spews out hefty plumes of white water. Intense. If you've got wee ones running rampant (or just irresponsible/drunk adults), keep an eye on them. Since the floods, the Ghost Lake banks have turned into some rather stark cliffs! It's day use only, but there is a camp ground directly across the highway. It's also "Liquor Prohibited", so we definitely didn't enjoy a bottle of wine while sunset watching and star gazing... That would be bad.

Since moving back to Calgary I've been trying to find places to swim and float that are kid-friendly. Forgetmenot Pond is so idyllic it almost feels like stepping into a painting. The water is mountain-fed so it gets the ticker going when you first get in but on a hot day, it is gloriously refreshing. Inflatable and paddle-boats are allowed. There are picnic tables, BBQs, a large parking lot, a fairly flat and short trail to the pond and well-maintained porta-potty style washrooms. The water is turquoise, the mountains are pristine, and even when day camps come to walk the path around the (large) pond it feels uncrowded and peaceful. I am already dreaming of returning. I will forget you not my beautiful Bragg Creek oasis!

My fiancee and our two friends decided to go with this company our first time rafting down the bow…read moreriver. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was not at all busy. Ideally, two cars would be best because you can leave one vehicle at the exit where the shop is and the other should be where the launch site is. You can also choose the shuttle service if you don't want to deal with driving. The staff were very friendly and helpful, describing the entire path. In addition, one of the employees were waiting for us at the end of our float to help take our boat in. The prices are pretty reasonable. We decided to get a 6 person boat for extra comfort and the 4 of us were able to lounge and tan in the boat. It was about 25 bucks per person between the four of us and the float was about 2.5 hours. The whole package comes with life jackets for everyone including 2 paddles. We absolutely loved our experience floating down bow river and we would definitely try lazy day rentals again as our experience was rather positive.

They had life jackets for everyone and took the time to make sure they fit right. It was about 2 hours - just shy of - from Edworthy to Eau Claire. We got off on the north side of the river past the peace bridge. Next time we would likely do the south side as the incline was less with kids - although the walk with the raft would be a little longer. Either way, great way to spend a warm afternoon and enjoy a little Stay Cation.

Zero Stars!!! I was totally disappointed with this place. I had my wedding party at this venue and…read moregot the full experience of these people. First of all, the manager and other worker I interacted with were disrespectful, rude and were happy to laugh at me when I ask that they clean the place up before my wedding event. The floors were full of dirt and I had to sweep the place out. The deck has graffiti, is full of cob webs and bird poop and organic material from the trees, the paint is peeling and the deck looks like it hasn't been maintained in decades. Not to mention, there are screws, used band aids, zip ties and many other pieces of garbage stuck between the deck boards. It took me over an hour to spray the deck clean before my event. The outside of the building was filthy, windows were full of dirt, entrance smelled of pee and the walls on the outside needed to be sprayed off to have a uniform color. The tables and chairs which are available for use are rickety at best and have clearly been used for many, many years. The manager of the club was keen to point out that my expectations can't be that high because they are 'volunteers'. Well, they didn't forget to charge me $2000 for the privilege of doing business with them. There was sail boat equipment laying around in the main area which I had to find a place for, not my job. One of the patio doors was broken and has been so for over a year from what they told me, no discount for facilities which are not functioning to at full capacity. The freezer was disgusting to even touch, it was full of frost and random bits of old food? Someone left their lunch in the fridge? I am actually infuriated with this place and can't put my disdain properly into this review. I have photos I would like to put into this review to backup what I am saying. Take your business elsewhere. The view is the only thing they can offer for 2000. Watchout!
