Ghost Lake Reservoir is one of many recreational opportunities near Calgary. It's less than 1 hour drive 59 km. / 37 miles to the west of the city. It's a man-made lake formed in 1929 for power generation. The water level fluctuates somewhat due to the power station. It has strong winds which makes it good for sailing and ice boating. The lake freezes in December and is used for both summer and winter recreation. There is a campground with pit toilet facilities. I visited friends in Calgary, and they drove me out there for a day trip with the family, including grandma and two young children. My beautiful day experience was 5-star, but you should read other reviews mentioning loud campground parties with maybe too much booze. To me, it all looked very nice, and everyone was having fun on a nice breezy June afternoon.

The people who work here were great. The lake is gorgeous and clean. There is no actual beach but you can jump in off the dock. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. I understand that they are outhouses but that was awful. They smelled so strong and were full of flies. If you tried to use the toilet your nose would start to burn from the fumes.

Nice boat launch. Great lake access for winter activities, including ice racing (motorcycle, cars), fishin​g, skating, sailing.

Great place to sail. Decent launch and usually decent winds. Several nice coves at the west end to tuck into for lunch.

High prices on products however they usually have what you need to get out of a pinch. Great prices on boat and trailer parking
