Canmore maintains a series of ice surfaces located throughout the community for residents to enjoy. See current status of each surface below.
Quarry Lake and the Rundle Forebay are not suitable for ice skating. They both have moving water, leading to variable ice thickness. Please stay off the ice for your safety.
