Ghost Lake is a man made glacier fed lake near the town of Cochrane in Alberta. It is about 60 kilometers from Downtown Calgary. It does not have visitor facilities in the form of hotels, motels or inns as of May 2014, but who knows in future, it may. There is a small settlement of a few personally owned cottages on the Northern shore of the lake.
The lake is located in a pristine environment in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies. Cycling to Ghost Lake may be an endeavour which some may consider. But you would need to be a regular long distance biker for that.
Activities of interest:
a. Cycling
b. Boating
c. Speed Boating
d. RV / Camping in the whereabouts
e. Photography
There are ramps available if you would want to tow your boat to this place.
