All About: Calgary’s Arbour Lake

Welcome to Calgary’s Arbour Lake. Located in Northwest Calgary, this exciting neighbourhood is built around a stunning man-made lake. No matter where you live in this welcoming community, you’re minutes away from all the amenities you could need and have immediate access to major roadways. 

The main draw to this residential neighbourhood is the lake itself. This pristine lake offers countless recreation opportunities and is a big part of what makes Arbour Lake so wonderful. The lake is brimming with rainbow trout, residents can fish from the designated fishing dock; however, all fishing is catch and release. 

There’s a beautiful beach area at the lake for families to enjoy and swimming is always welcome in the designated area. All residents enjoy free membership to the lake and are welcome to bring a friend. Residents can borrow rowboat, kayak, canoe, paddleboat, or SUP boards for 2 hours at a time. Boats are available on a first come, first serve basis. Arbour Lake also hosts summer camps, programs, and special events. In the winter residents can ice skate right on the lake.

There’s no need to travel to downtown Calgary for a nice meal. Arbour Lake’s Crowfoot Crossing, the largest shopping centre in the city, is filled with popular retail stores and a Cineplex Odeon. Casual and fine dining restaurants, along with fast food and family restaurant surround the shopping centre. Pizza shops and cafes can be found throughout the community.
