Ghost Lake, Reservoir in Western Alberta, Canada.
Ghost Lake extends over 11.6 square kilometers along the Bow River, reaching depths of 34 meters at an elevation of 1,188 meters.
TransAlta Utilities constructed the Ghost Dam in 1929 on land leased from the Nakoda First Nations, forming this substantial water reservoir.
The Ghost Lake area maintains strong connections to both indigenous heritage through Nakoda First Nations and modern recreational activities for Alberta residents.
The Ghost Reservoir Provincial Recreation Area provides public access for fishing, boating, camping, and water sports from spring through fall seasons.
The lake surface transforms into a natural racing track during winter months, hosting the first ice boating club established in Western Canada.
