Little Bow Provincial Park is a relaxing beach getaway only two hours from Calgary. The girls squeal as I clamber onto the stand-up paddleboard SUP with them and stand up. After a few wobbly seconds, we find our balance and paddle to the floating dock. Melissa and MJ are also trying stand-up paddleboarding for the first time and doing great. Miya 8 years old is even able to stand up on her first try! We spend the rest of the afternoon swimming, building sand castles, and relaxing. Of course, we get an ice cream at the Concession too! Dinner finds us back at camp where the girls work together to start a fire without matches. Emi gathers balsam poplar fluff and shapes it into a little nest, then Miya strikes a ferro rod to make a shower of sparks over the nest. The fluff bursts into flame and in short order, the kindling and bigger pieces start to burn. We walk past the beach to the marina, which is quite busy at this time of night. Some boats are returning and some are heading out, while several people fish from the dock. Many more walleye are caught and released that evening with jigheads and minnows, as well as a little pike. In the morning, we enjoy more sandy, splashy fun before checking out. We plan to bring our canoe next time so we can explore the reservoir!

This worn down ambience spills over to worn pathways, old, rotting dock, and overgrown sandbox among other things.

Stayed here in August , we were in site B1, I would not recommend this site or B0 as it is pretty close to the sewage septic tanks from washroom and at times you get a good whiff of poop smell. Tip for Other Campers: Bring loonies for showers, far from any town,. Good park. But no privacy and no water at the time. Otherwise, good to hike and closed to beach.

Victoria Day. The long weekend with the antiquated name, unless you use the more colloquial May Two-Four, marks the unofficial start to summer for Canadians. There are spring cleaning and summer projects, sure, but more importantly BBQs and camping. So familiar are we that some of us cough, cough, me no longer even plan camping trips for the May long weekend, having been disappointed too many times by a moody Mother Nature. This difficult but justified stance has served me well. Or it had, until this year when my curmudgeonly stay-at-home May Two-Four strategy was upended by a spectacularly sunny, pleasant weekend. You can imagine my apprehension at what weather awaited us the following weekend; a weekend I had planned our first camping trip of the year. It felt all too probable that Mother Nature would turn the tables on my scheming and send a late blast of winter our way. Little Bow is a relatively small provincial park located on the north shore near the western end of Travers Reservoir.
