Policeman's Flats Boat Ramp

Policeman's Flats Boat Ramp sits on the Bow River east of Deerfoot Trail (Highway 2), reached via Dunbow Road — turn north on Bow River Bottom Road just before the Carmony Golf Club.

Located roughly 20 minutes south of Calgary, the site sits on private land owned by Sherbrook Investment, with public access maintained through a Bow River Trout Foundation development project.

Improvements to the ramp have included the removal of hazardous rocks and upgraded parking. The launch is popular with anglers and drift boaters.

The 23-kilometre float downstream to McKinnon Flats offers sweeping bends, undercut banks, riffles, and pools known to produce rainbow and brown trout exceeding 20 inches. Portable toilets and parking are available on-site.
