Canmore to Kananaskis Lakes
78 km one way
slide 2 of 3
Spray Lakes Reservoir, Kananaskis
A short drive from Calgary, leave the path well beaten and enter Kananaskis Country through highway 40.
You will be transported from the bald prairie expanses to the towering peaks of the Rocky Mountains.
Enjoy the scenery on highway 40 and turn off on the Smith Dorrien Spray Trail (#742). This gravel road is used for the “backdoor” access to Spray Lakes.
The Smith Dorrien winds its way through moose habitat. As you cruise close to the tree line you’ll find mounds of snow, even in high summer.
But save your gawking for the wildlife, as elk, moose, mountain goats, and the occasional bear pause to watch you rumble by.
