## Caption

Quarry Lake is located just outside of Canmore, about an hour’s drive from Calgary 🏔️⁠
⁠
The area was once a mining quarry, which is how the small lake got its name. Fed by an underground spring, the crystal-clear waters are perfect for paddleboarding and swimming in July and August.⁠
⁠
While the water is a bit chillier for the rest of the year, it’s still a gorgeous area to enjoy a picnic, take a walk, admire the stunning Ha Ling Peak, and maybe even spot some wildlife.⁠
⁠
After a lovely day outdoors, you can head into town for some sightseeing, shopping, and a delicious dinner. There are plenty of charming local shops and sights to explore. We love stonewaters.shop for its unique collection of homewear, accessories, and apparel, and rhythmandhowl for a delicious pasta or shortrib.⁠
