    Barrier Lake is a turquoise reservoir in Kananaskis, framed by sharp ridgelines and easy-access shoreline paths. It’s a popular spot for short walks, paddle outings, and as a starting point for nearby climbs like Prairie View and Jewel Pass. The open views across the water make it a scenic stop on any route through the area.
