Anyone know where to park at bearspaw dam in calgary?

Question

I've heard it's a great place to take your dog and i can't seem to find where the parking area is.

Answer 1

Here's the best (closest) parking spot (accessible by 85th St off Nose Hill Drive)

51.06.13.53N, 114.15.50.84W  

Find it on Google Earth.

The road actually goes further but there's a gate across it which can be locked at any time.

Be sure to keep your dogs on leash near the parking lot as you have to cross a very busy rail line and the road runs beside the tracks for awhile. So your dogs could either be spooked (or ..worse......) if they're off leash in that area.
