Situated just minutes from the town of Banff, Cascade Ponds is a popular picnic and walking area at the base of Cascade Mountain. A network of small bridges connects several ponds, creating easy loops with stunning reflections of the surrounding peaks. It’s a favourite spot for families and photographers, especially in early morning or evening light when the water is calm and mirror-like.

Cascade Ponds is a day area with fire pits (firewood available), picnic tables and toilets. Nice walk around the ponds. In the rain there are 2 shelters.
