Fish Creek

Highlight • River

Flowing for almost the entire length of the park, Fish Creek is the feature that gives this provincial park its name. The creek winds through cottonwood forest, gravel banks, and wide valley scenery that feels surprisingly wild for a location within Calgary. Watch for deer, beavers, waterfowl, and other wildlife along the banks, particularly during the quieter morning and evening hours.

Glennfield West Day Use Area

Highlight • Rest Area

One of the most convenient access points for exploring Fish Creek Provincial Park, Glennfield West has a large parking area, modern washrooms, picnic sites, and direct access to both paved and natural-surface trails. From here, it's easy to reach Fish Creek, the Rotary Mattamy Greenway, and several forested sections of the park. Despite being within Calgary city limits, the surrounding cottonwood forest and creek valley create a surprisingly natural setting that's popular with walkers, cyclists, and wildlife enthusiasts.

Mattamy Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Part of Calgary's 140-kilometre Rotary Mattamy Greenway, this paved multi-use pathway offers one of the easiest ways to explore Fish Creek Provincial Park. The route passes through a mix of forest, open grasslands, and creek-side scenery, with picnic areas and rest stops spread out along the way. Despite being within city limits, long stretches feel surprisingly removed from the surrounding neighbourhoods, making it a popular choice for walking, cycling, and wildlife spotting.
