Campground On the Edge of Everything
Staff writer 64
The history of Canada's rugged western outback is still alive and well in Alberta and Bow RiversEdge Campground provides an excellent central base camp to explore and get a sense of the pioneering spirit that once thrived here. Located along the banks of the Bow River in Cochrane, Alberta, Bow RiversEdge offers easy access to numerous annual rodeo events, Native First Nations culture, horseback riding and farmers markets, paragliding on the Big Hill, and fishing right on the Bow River. One of the main features of the campground is that it is located on the Cowboy Trail, a historic route that stretches 700 kilometres down highway 22, from Cardston, all the way north to Mayerthorpe. Travelling east from Cochrane and from Bow RiversEdge will take you to the City of Calgary and Calaway Park, the Calgary Stampede, or Canada Olympic Park. Travelling west and less than an hour's drive, will take you deep into Kananaskis Country, or to Banff National Park. Heading north and south from Cochrane takes you along the

Cowboy Trail (Highway 22) for historic attractions, horseback riding, hiking, or cross-country skiing (seasonal). The Bow RiversEdge Campground Society has a capital re-investment fund whereby it invests the annual profits from the campground into local communities with an aim to assist like-minded organizations to develop projects, events and activities enhancing local culture and community. It's a win/win situation for the community and those who visit it. Being community minded, manager's Mike & Christina Eklof make it easy for families and groups to reserve side- by-side lots at group rates making it a favourite for family reunions, local sports events, and group events. Short and long-term stays and in-season tenting are a few of the notable features Bow RiversEdge is known for. Reasonably priced at sites from $36 CAD per night, the campsite offers 145 RV full service sites with 30 and 50 amp power, access to biking/walking paths along Bow River, Wi-Fi HotSpot Internet is included and year-round RV camping accommodations with
