This is a small pond located not far from Canmore along the Bow River.
This pond is regularly stocked with rainbow trout however it usually gets fished out by the end of the summer.
During the weekdays parking can be limited because of the popular Grotto Canyon Trail that starts right from the lake.
This area is also quite noisy due to its proximity to the highway and nearby plants.
