BOW BOTTOM TRAIL TO REOPEN MONDAY, AUGUST 27th, 2007

CLOSURE OF TEMPORARY BOAT LAUNCH ACCESS VIA SUN VALLEY BOULEVARD

 

 

Fish Creek Provincial Park would like to advise the local angling community

of a return to normal Bow Bottom Trail Access to the Fish Creek Provincial

Park Boat Launch on:

MONDAY, AUGUST 27th, 2007.

 

 

Previous access via Sun valley Boulevard around the south end of the Sikome

Aquatic Facility will be closed.

 

 

 

Previous arrangements regarding official permitted Shuttle and Guiding

Access through locked gates will now resume.

 

 

The return to normal boat launch access is the result of partial completion

of the City of Calgary Pine Creek Sewage Line Project and completed upgrades

for the Boat Launch Facility Area. These Boat Launch upgrades have included

the installation of a double-wide launch, paved parking surface,

enlarged/improved parking and traffic separation, educational signage,

pathway development and washroom access.

 

The Park would like to thank all users of the Boat Launch for their patience

and understanding during this period.

 

 

 

Additional Note:

 

Continued work on the Pine Creek Sewage Line parallel to the Boat Launch

will result in access through what is normally the exit to the boat launch.

The normal entry south of this point will reopen once the sewage line

installation is complete. The final element of the work will include

installation of directional and regulatory signage this Fall. This work will

not affect access to the boat launch.

i never understood them not having the opening on the sunvalley access....

[EdB]

The guy i talked to said it was because it was like deerfoot 2 inthe park. I asked if there was a way to block it so that peaple couldn't cut across to Deer run and he said no. I'm sure going to miss it. Driving down to Bow Bottom is a real pain in the @ss. Whe nwe gonna hit the river Brent?

[Guest bigbadbrent]

send me a pm, my fishing days go to crap after the 10th of september..so im up for every and any day....

 

i personally hate having to drive north, then back south to get into the park, it's a real pain in the ass if you're from south of calgary.....Is hullswood still shut?

I second BBB's comment. If you live in Chaparral, or any of the far SE communities, access through Sikome was just fantastic. Oh well, time to relearn the poop hole, hullswood, etc.

I think they have to open it up now.

They are doing all sorts of work beside the Glenmore Bridge.

Not sure what's going on but, it looks like they may twin the Glenmore Bridge and that will most likely shut off access to that launch.

 

Anyone know for sure what's up there?

[SilverDoctor]

I love the south end also. In the past I would just park in the Sikome lot and walk in.

[Guest bigbadbrent]

That's my normal course of action

Coming from the NW that diverting around to the boatlaunch via Lake Sikome was a major pain probably added 15minutes to my trip, very cool that the bow bottom entrance has reopened, but it did seem to limit the amount of pressure in that area of fish creek.
