About Arbour Lake

NW Calgary's most unique community.

Established in 1992 and inspired by lake communities of Southern California, Arbour Lake is unlike any other neighbourhood in northwest Calgary. At its heart sits a pristine 10-acre private lake — stocked with rainbow trout and open to residents year-round for swimming, paddleboarding, fishing, and winter skating.

Every homeowner automatically becomes a member of the Arbour Lake Residents Association, with full lake access included. Its elevated hillside position offers some of the finest panoramic Rocky Mountain views in all of Calgary.
