Nose Creek Park

Highlight • Natural

Nose Creek Park preserves a beautiful stretch of the upper creek valley in northwest Calgary. Its unpaved, informal trails wind alongside the creek, weaving through grasslands and wetland areas. Unlike the more developed parks downstream, this space offers a more natural experience. The setting is open and minimally developed, with native vegetation and plenty of wildlife that reflect the typical prairie environment of Calgary.

Nose Creek

Highlight • River

Nose Creek is a prairie stream that flows south through Calgary, forming a narrow corridor of riparian habitat within the city. It passes through grasslands, wetlands, and urban parkland before joining the Bow River, with sections that have been restored to support native vegetation. Despite its urban setting, the creek provides habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife along much of its course.

Nose Creek Pathway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Nose Creek Pathway is a multi-use paved trail that runs alongside Nose Creek, forming part of Calgary’s extensive pathway network. It winds gradually through open parkland and under road crossings, with a mostly gentle grade that makes it ideal for walking and cycling. The route follows the creek closely in sections, with consistent views of the water, surrounding grasslands, and pockets of urban wildlife along the way.
