I'm looking for access to Bearspaw Res.

Via Emerald Bay or Agricultural land

Otherwise I might try hang-gliding in from the Glenbow Cliffs.

PM if you have access or ideas.

if valley ridge is an ungated community (im not familiar) than could you not park there, and walk up the river, and up to the top? The high water mark is a good sign of private property, and I'm assuming a certain distance from a dam?

OK, well I'm still sorting out how I'm going to launch my hang glider from glenbow cliffs and soar into bearspaw; Rocky View's premier sport ice fishing location.

Things I'm having difficulty with are: how to attach an 8" manual auger to my glider; once on the reservoir, how do I gain enough ground speed to take off again; finally, how thick is the ice, and what bait should I use and where should I fish and how deep of water?

Anywho, check out this sweet info I have pried from the depths of the internet.

MAPS! (with legend) (and google earth for reference).

My favorite part is where they show you where you have to canoe.

Inch by inch we lose our liberty.

I'm still under the weight restriction on the hang glider if you want to double.

Not sure where youre going to access the low water mark.

you still have to cross private land to get to the high water mark though?? unless your walking down one of the creeks to the Res. this won;t really help you no??

Nope, and the fed law doesn't apply to creeks as they are not navigable.

Train tracks present another obstacle.

If you can float a small raft/canoe/innertube, etc., down, it's considered navigable (i.e., Jumping Pound Creek is a creek, but navigable!)!

This was told to me by someone that works/ed for Nav Canada!
