A place worth sharing
Bearspaw Marina started with a simple idea: everyone deserves a beautiful place to paddle, explore, and be outside.

Bearspaw Marina exists because of a belief that outdoor recreation should be simple, accessible, and joyful. Sitting on the edge of Bearspaw Reservoir, just outside Calgary, the marina is a place where families, couples, friends, and solo adventurers can come together around the water.
The vision has always been to create a destination — not just a rental dock. A place where you can paddle a canoe, ride an e-bike, grab a bite from the food truck, browse some merchandise, and simply enjoy being outside in one of Alberta's most beautiful settings.
"We wanted to open up the reservoir experience to more people — not just those with their own boats or gear."
Everything at Bearspaw Marina is non-motorized, low-impact, and designed with the environment in mind. We believe that recreation and conservation aren't at odds — they go together. When people fall in love with a place, they naturally want to protect it.
Whether you're from Calgary or just passing through, whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth, Bearspaw Marina is here for you. No experience needed. No gear required. Just a beautiful day waiting to happen.
