The Rundle Forebay Reservoir in Canmore is a popular spot for locals and visitors to enjoy the water and stunning views of Ha Ling and the Little Sister mountains. Located just 5km from Canmore along Smith Dorrien Road, this man-made reservoir is supplied by the Spray Lakes Reservoir. While there are no facilities or bathrooms at the site, in the summer this is a popular spot for paddle boarding or swimming in the chilly water. Parking is limited, so it's best to arrive early or have a backup plan. Overall, it's a great place to relax and soak up the beauty of the Canadian Rockies.
