Barrier Lake, Alberta

Decided to share some locations with you guys! so stay tuned for some others coming.
but this post is all about Barrier Lake, in Kananaskis Alberta.

it's about an hour from Calgary and 1hour 16minutes from Crossfield. There is numerous trails including a pathway that is stroller friendly for those with young kiddos and beautiful teal waters surrounded by mountains! what more could ya want? 

Barrier Lake is a man made reservoir at the north end of Kananaskis Country in Alberta, Canada. Highway 40 runs between the lake and Mount Baldy, on the eastern shore. It is entirely located in the Bow Valley Provincial Park. Barrier Lake was created for hydroelectric power generation on the Kananaskis River.
