Description:
|
Banff National Park's largest lake, this body of water is the only one in the area open to power boats. As a result, it's a popular destination for fishermen. The name, Cree in origin, means "lake of the water spirit." Today, following engineering efforts earlier in the century, the lake has been enlarged; the water level has increased 82 feet, and an early resort now lies beneath its waters. Boat tours offer recreational circuits around the lake, showcasing the area's scenery and wildlife. Visitors also enjoy hiking and picnicking along the perimeter. |
