4worldlovers: The Glenmore Reservoir and Dam are located on the Elbow River. It was constructed to provide Calgarians with a safe and sufficient supply of drinking water and is managed according to the following priorities, in order of importance:

Reduce the impact of high river flows and sustain environmental health.

If you are looking to host a festival or event on or around the Glenmore Reservoir, we can help.

Glenmore Reservoir typically opens to the public May 1, dependent on ice melt. See the status tool below for up-to-date schedules.

The Glenmore Boat Patrol is on the water May 1 to the October long weekend, sunrise to sunset, 7 days per week. October 10 to October 30, Thursday - Sunday only.

Located at South Glenmore Park is Variety Children's Park, a playground and water park accessible to children with disabilities.

The washrooms are open from 7 a.m. to sunset. They are located at various points on the reservoir.

Approved life jackets or self-inflating personal floatation devices must be worn at all times while the boat is on the water.

We help protect the safety of the public through the Glenmore Boat Patrol.

When Boat Patrol staff are on duty, a green flag is displayed at each of the three launch sites.

The Boat Patrol can be contacted using the radios located near the green flags or by calling 403-371-8674. (May 1 – October 31 only)

Nearly half of Calgary's water supply is drawn from the Glenmore Reservoir, which is fed by the Elbow River.

The Elbow River is susceptible to contaminants that can pollute our source water and make water treatment more difficult and costly.

Limiting recreational use is critical to ensure high quality drinking water for Calgarians.

Pets must be on leash at all times in the Glenmore Park and on the shore of the reservoir.

No fishing from docks or ramps (fishing is permitted in non-motorized boats and along the shore)

The water flowing into the reservoir is constantly moving, and levels change as water is withdrawn for treatment. During the winter, this makes the ice unpredictable and dangerous.
