Default Ghost
Go to Ghost instead, lots more elbow room and much much prettier. Once tried to run my boat at Chestermere, couldn't fit it under the bridge so was limited to like 8km/hr.

The launch at Ghost is very good and can handle many boats.

Crawling Valley, Mcgregor or Pine coulee. All about an hour and free launch. No way I would ever pay a launch fee at Chestemere..LOL

Chestermere is open. Its just unmanned. Gates are down last night, no barriers at launch.

CVR - by far one of the nicest launches close to Calgary - Newell is the next best but 2 hours away
