Ghost Lake Recreations

Great place to camp if you have dogs nobody complaines everyone has a good time

Sites aren’t cleaned or maintained, garbage is on the site. Spent 2 nights and the one outhouse has had no toilet paper the whole time. The bear proof garbage bin has garbage spread around it instead of in it and there was loud partying and fireworks set off at night. The price of firewood is pretty expensive as well $10 for 10 pieces. There were 3 people working in the store, I’m not sure what they’re being paid for since we only saw one young guy delivering wood to people. I wouldn’t recommend it to people who have very little kids as the dock area isn’t kid friendly unless you have an avid swimmer and there aren’t any playgrounds near by.

Water is torquiose clean. One of the closest natural lake in Calgary.

Ghost Lake Reservoir is one of many recreational opportunities near Calgary. It's less than 1 hour drive 59 km. / 37 miles to the west of the city. It's a man-made lake formed in 1929 for power generation. The water level fluctuates somewhat due to the power station. It has strong winds which makes it good for sailing and ice boating. The lake freezes in December and is used for both summer and winter recreation. There is a campground with pit toilet facilities. I visited friends in Calgary, and they drove me out there for a day trip with the family, including grandma and two young children. My beautiful day experience was 5-star, but you should read other reviews mentioning loud campground parties with maybe too much booze. To me, it all looked very nice, and everyone was having fun on a nice breezy June afternoon.

What a marvellous place! We have launched the houseboat. Once we got out on the reservoir we found a great place to for the night. Stunning!

One of the nicest lakes in Alberta. Gets super busy and it’s also filled with boaters, paddle boarders, and kayaks. Super fun and for all ages. The water is pretty cold year round so not the best swimming lake but it’s clean and is good for a quick plunge.

Beautiful place to enjoy the water!Lots of family floats and wave riding thrills

Nice spot! Loos a bit of a mess though!!!
