Forget-Me-Not Pond

Stroll
Distance: 1.5km Loop
Time: 20-30min
No Elevation
Very Easy
Services: Fires, Bathrooms, Picnic Tables, and Benches

Access:
Go out to Bragg Creek and at the first big stop sign to the road a bit to the left, then at the second stop sign take a right onto hwy 66. Follow that down till then and there is a sign telling you to turn left into Little Elbow. Go in there and the next left is the parking lot to Forget-Me-Not Pond.

Experience:
I didn't really want to do a big hike today and he had a lot of things to do so I planned a nice easy evening outing with the family to Forget-Me-Not Pond. It is definitely a hidden gem. It is a man made pond but it is also a natural spring. The water is very clear and has the same color as the ink pots up Johnston's Canyon. It was super pretty! I would take a date to this lovely spot for a nice fire to roast hot dogs and marshmallows, and to take a very peaceful paddle on the canoe in the pond. When we got there there wasn't many people and by 8pm there was no more people so it was very private. There was no wind, and the water was so still, it was like paddling on glass. Forget-Me-Not pond is a very beautiful place.
