Barrier Lake is a man-made reservoir at the north end of Kananaskis Country in Alberta, Canada. It was created for hydroelectric power generation on the Kananaskis River and is also used for recreational activities, with hiking paths surrounding the lake (and cross-country skiing trails in the winter).
Barrier Lake was used in the 2003 film X2: X-Men United as the stand in for Alkali Lake and in Heartland (CBC) as Eagle Lake (2011).

Beautiful property and a very lovely cottage. The ladies at the reception were absolutely wonderful — 5 stars to them! The only downside was that the upstairs washroom didn’t have a shower, only a tub. Apart from that, everything was perfect. I would happily stay here again anytime.
