Kananaskis Village
Kananaskis Village lies just off Highway 40, four kilometers (2.5 miles) south of the
ponds. The village was the epicenter of action during the 1988 Winter Olympic Games.
Developed specially for the games, the village sits on a high bench below Nakiska—where
the downhill events of the games were held—and overlooks a golf course. The village
comprises two hotels, restaurants, and other service shops set around a paved courtyard
complete with waterfalls and trout-stocked ponds.
From the village, it's 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) farther south to the border of Peter
Lougheed Provincial Park. Just beyond the village is Wedge Pond. Originally dug as
a gravel pit during golf course construction, it is now filled with water and encircled
by a one-kilometer (0.6-mile) trail offering fantastic views across the river to towering
2,958-meter (9,700-foot) Mount Kidd.
