Description

Located just 30 miles from Jasper, this pristine gem is the largest glacier-fed lake in the Canadian Rockies, and the oldest attraction in Jasper Park. Visitors have been awed by the glacial blue waters and stunning mountain backdrops since 1929, when the first paying visitors were brought to the lake's shores. While the scenery is still as unblemished as ever, visitors today have more amenities to enhance their visit, including a glass-enclosed boat that runs narrated cruises to the highly photogenic Spirit Island, canoe and kayak rentals, a souvenir shop, and a cafe that features loads of outdoor seating overlooking the lake.
