Harvie Passage Lookout — Attraction in Calgary

SUPER Fun floating/swimming hole! WEAR A LIFE JACKET and stay on the class 2 side unless you have skills for class 3 rapids. Prepare ro stay for a few hours, water is very inviting!! Just wonderful that the city created this little fabulous retreat. Can't wait to go back. Floating down just in a life jacket is more work than expected : mask or goggles and water shoes that are very secure at the heal are definitely recommended. Go feet first as bumps and scraps are possible. Just awesome...

Even if you are living in Calgary, it is quite possible, you have overlooked, missed or just ignored this bright spot to enjoy nature’s bounties. Natural landscape, brilliant architectural art work, breezily flowing water down the stones, flora and fauna in a vast layout will keep you engrossed for a couple of hours!!! Nice picturesque spot for shutterbugs and humongous backdrops for hardcore and perpetually narcissistic selfie seekers! Be here, you wouldn’t regret. Sure you will come...
