I called the City of Calgary trying to see if they'd provide a point of access, or at least see how they'd respond to the inquiry.
I too was under the impression that the high water mark would be federally owned by the Crown like most other waterbodies.
They told me its leased by TransAlta, INCLUDING the high water mark.
Only legal option I was advised of was floating down from Cochrane. Told him I didn't own a jetboat to get back
Also asked about accessing via the park land thats owned by the City, was told that was not allowed; for liability reasons, even if I assumed responsibility/ liablility.
So seeing as I still don't own million dollar reservoir property or a jetboat, its fishing where the rest of us peasants fish. For another 5 or 10 or 50 years until the park access is built.
