Lake Minnewanka is a beautiful glacial lake and the second longest lake in the Canadian Rockies at 21 kilometers long and 142 meters deep. It is fed by the rushing Cascade River. The lake was home to indigenous people about 10,000 years ago. The historic site of Minnewanka Landing was submerged during the 20th century when the lake was dammed. Today, it is a popular recreational destination for mountain biking, hiking, boating and diving.

Vandring
The name Minnewanka comes from the language of the Nakota Indians and means "water of the spirits". The indigenous people living near the lake believed that spirits lived in the lake. The first Europeans who came to this area called the lake "Devil's Lake" (Devil's Lake).
At the end of the 19th century, a small summer town with hotels, yards and restaurants for tourists was built on the shores of the lake. In 1941, the lake was dammed, increasing the water level by 30 meters and flooding the city. Today, the underwater city is a popular destination for diving.
