Lower Joffre Lake is – as you might imagine – the lowest of the three Joffre Lakes and also the smallest. It is crystal clear and if you are in for a dip, this is definitely warmer than the much higher lakes that might be covered with ice and snow. It is a five-minute walk from the parking lot. If you have time and the stamina, be sure to walk further and visit the higher turquoise lakes as well.

The Lower Joffre Lake can only be visited on a small area of the shore, but is a beautiful lake.
