Vermilion Lakes
(Attractions & Activities - Parks)
Vermilion Lakes Dr, Banff  T0L 0C0
Description: Wildlife of all sorts inhabits these shallow lakes. Beaver, elk, deer, and a great number of birds rely on the environs for their homes and sustenance. Previously, the lakes were dammed to maintain a water level high enough for recreation, but for ecological reasons, the barriers were removed to allow the terrain to return to its natural state. Now, beavers create the only dams, and the abundance of plants and animals attracts sightseers along the lake perimeters. Nearby, the Fenland Trail provides a path through the accompanying vegetation.
