Calgary Parks 100 Project - Clearwater Park
Calgary Area Cachers teaming up with The City of Calgary Parks
Celebrating Calgary Parks 100th Anniversary
The Calgary Parks 100 Project is a partnership between the City of Calgary Parks, and the Calgary Area Cachers to celebrate Calgary Parks 100th anniversary. Calgary Parks has supplied cache containers and swag for 100 caches, and the we have placed these 100 caches in 100 parks around Calgary. These caches have some cool swag and trackables when placed, so make sure to find them as soon as they are published.
The Elbow River in the Clearwater area is one of the most outstanding examples in Alberta of a complex braided stream. The braided stream channels have established terrain conditions which support a mixed forest of White spruce and deciduous trees, principally Balsam poplar, and lowland shrubs.
Clearwater park at present is a quarter section of land acquired and donated by the Devonian Foundation to the City of Calgary.
At the west centre of the quarter section is a constructed pond containing the water of the southerly river channel. This pond was the central feature of Clearwater Beach, a privately owned, commercial recreation place which was in disuse after about 1978. Calgary Parks operates a reserved use tipi camp on this site. On the open plain to the south is the leasehold of a private archery range.
The Cache
The cache site is alongside the pond, now in a naturalizing condition.
PLEASE NOTE: It will be necessary to cross a fence that has NO TRESSPASSING signs on it. Cachers have permission to enter this area for the purposes of locating this cache. Please respect the camping area.
