4 Incredible Lakes in and Around Jasper National Park
Overlander Mountain Lodge
Maligne Lake
This iconic, glacier-fed lake is the largest natural lake in the Canadian Rockies and a highlight of any trip to Jasper. Its stunning turquoise water and surrounding peaks make it one of the most photographed locations in the world, particularly the famous Spirit Island. You can explore the lake by taking a scenic boat tour or by renting a canoe or kayak for a more intimate experience.
Pyramid Lake
Located just a short drive from the town of Jasper, Pyramid Lake offers a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views of Pyramid Mountain. The lake is a popular spot for fishing, canoeing, and stand-up paddleboarding. You can also walk across the wooden footbridge to Pyramid Island for a picturesque picnic or a leisurely stroll.
Medicine Lake
A truly unique natural phenomenon, Medicine Lake mystifies visitors with its disappearing act. In the summer, it appears as a normal lake, but in the fall and winter, the water drains away through a series of sinkholes, leaving behind a riverbed. This intriguing landscape is a great place to spot wildlife and enjoy the quiet beauty of the Maligne Valley.
Valley of the Five Lakes
For a rewarding hike, head to the Valley of the Five Lakes. This family-friendly loop trail takes you past a series of five stunning lakes, each a different shade of green and blue. The easy-to-moderate hike is perfect for all skill levels and offers some of the most beautiful views in the park.
