Tips

A bright blue lake against a spectacular mountain backdrop.
In this case: If you are in Banff National Park and you do not want to stop by, it's your own fault!

In the immediate vicinity of the lake is a larger parking lot and the road ends here. In the peak season and especially on sunny days, it can be scarce with parking.
There are also some lodges on this side of the lake and canoes can be hired. But not a really big tourist development such as Lake Louise.

On the small Rockpile at the end of the lake is a good path to go. From there you can enjoy a wonderful view.

A must if you are nearby!
The ascent is completed within a few minutes from the parking lot, and the subsequent view of the lake is first class.

One of the most beautiful mountain lakes in the region, unfortunately very busy. Recommended early in the morning or late in the evening. Picture book backdrop
