St Mary's Reservoir - Lower Campground




June 23, 2020 We went to Cardston and stayed at Barrett and Kari's place for one night.  We had fun with them and their kids.  Bolt had some minor surgery at the vet's the next morning.  After we picked Bolt up, we headed out to St. Mary's Reservoir.  There are three campgrounds there.  We went to the lower one and got a nice spot with a great view of the spillway from the dam - see photo above on right.  We stayed for two nights before heading home to Calgary.  The campground was not very full, so it was nice and quiet, except for the noise of the water in the spillway.  The area was great for fishing and floating in rafts etc.  We did a bit of walking around and looking at the area, a lot of time sitting in the sun and reading.  There were a lot of mosquitoes and of course I am an all you can eat buffet for them.  I did not get the OFF out soon enough and I am paying the price.  On Thursday we drove to the other two campground to check them out.  The upper campground is small, a few trees and a boat launch.  Walley's beach is a larger campground, no trees but a nice sandy beach in the day use area.
