Riverfront Park

Highlight • River

Riverfront Park sits along the banks of the Bow River in Cochrane. The park is known for its scenic riverside pathways that follow the Bow River through the heart of town. Wooden boardwalks, benches, and viewpoints along the trail make it a pleasant place to pause and watch the fast-moving river below. The park also connects to Cochrane’s larger pathway system, making it a popular starting point for walking and cycling along the river valley.

Riverfront Park Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Riverfront Park trail follows the banks of the Bow River through Riverfront Park in Cochrane. This easy paved pathway runs beside the fast-moving river and offers frequent views of the water as it winds through the valley. Benches and small viewpoints along the route make it a pleasant place to pause and watch the river, while the path connects with Cochrane’s wider trail network for longer walks along the Bow River corridor.

Bow River

Highlight • River

This section of the riverside path along the Bow River offers a quiet place to pause beside the water. A bench here looks out over the broad river as it flows past Cochrane, making it a pleasant spot to sit and take in the view. The Bow River is known for its clear, glacier-fed water flowing from the Rocky Mountains. While people sometimes wade along the shoreline in summer, the current can be strong and the water stays very cold year-round, so entering the river should be done with caution.

Cochrane Off-Leash Dog Park

Highlight • Trail

There are parking lots on both ends of this long paved section of the Trans Canada Trail where dogs can run off-leash. There is access to the river but not a lot of shade, so come prepared.
