Try Carseland-Wyndham Provincial Park SE of Calgary, about 45 minutes. It's nice, but does fill up quickly on long weekends. Other weekends it's more manageable.
Also, head west on the 22X past Bragg Creek to the aforementioned McLean Creek, or keep going to Beaver Flats or Paddy's Flats. I actually haven't been out that way in a couple years, so I don't know for sure what it's like now, but I used to love it out there. It's in the Kananaskis Elbow Valley with some pseudo-mountains around, so lots of hiking can be had.
