Bragg Creek Community Overview
Bragg Creek is a designated place (an unincorporated hamlet) in southern Alberta, 30 kilometres west of Calgary (along Highway 8) at the confluence of the Elbow River and Bragg Creek. It is located in Rocky View Municipal District in Division No. 6. The population according to the 2001 Statistics Canada census is 678. It lies near the intersection of Highway 66, Highway 22 and Highway 22X.
Bragg Creek is named after Albert Warren Bragg from Collingwood Nova Scotia and his 14 year old brother John Thomas; who homesteaded in the area in 1894. The community was established between a forestry reserve, the Sarcee Indian reserve and a Provincial Park. Its economy is based heavily upon recreation. Ranching has also been a primary economic generator in Bragg Creek since the 1920s.
Bragg Creek is popular for shopping, with its quaint shops, restaurants, and mountain scenery.
The area is a popular spot for vacations and short day trips from Calgary. It is near the Rocky Mountains and Kananaskis Country. The Elbow River and the scenic Elbow Falls are a short distance away.
There are many recreational areas in the area. These include Bragg Creek Provincial Park and the Canyon Creek Ice Cave, also known as the Bragg Creek Ice Cave. There are numerous hiking/biking trails, equestrian trails and picnic/camping areas. Downhill skiing used to be popular, although since the abandonment of the nearby downhill ski centre, Wintergeen, only cross country skiing facilities are available.
