Glenmore Reservoir is a major water source for Calgary and a favourite recreation spot in the city’s southwest. Created by the Glenmore Dam on the Elbow River, the reservoir is used for sailing, canoeing, rowing, and birdwatching. It’s surrounded by popular parks like North Glenmore and Weaselhead Flats, and it serves as a gateway to nature for thousands of residents. While swimming is prohibited due to water supply regulations, the reservoir remains a prime location for paddling and sunset strolls. It also plays a crucial role in Calgary’s flood control infrastructure.
