The Elbow River

The Elbow is a large Canadian river that originates in the Rocky Mountains and flows through the city of Calgary. The banks of the river are very picturesque, and its waters attract rowing fans.

The length of Elbow is 120 kilometers, and the area of its basin is 1200 square kilometers. At its source, the river is very beautiful, and its channel forms many picturesque dams, rapids and waterfalls. In addition, Elbow is of great economic importance - the Glenmoor reservoir fed by the river provides fresh water to the city of Calgary and all surrounding villages.

But for all its advantages, Elbow is not particularly popular among vacationers - most of the year the water in it is too cold for swimming. But the abundance of trout attracts all the local fishermen to Elbow.
