Horseshoe Lake
(Attractions & Activities - Parks)
Icefields Pkwy (Hwy 93) Jasper National Park, Jasper  T0E 1E0 • 780-852-6176 •  780-852-6177
        Description: This picturesque lake lies at the end of a short trail from the highway. It gets its name from its shape and is a popular destination for locals when the weather gets warm. Its shores are pleasant picnicking spots, and people also come to swim, fish and sometimes scuba dive. The adventurous also jump into the lake from cliffs that line the lake's southern side; they rise to 80 feet, but even lower down, the jump is intimidating. If you do make the leap, make sure you're with someone. The water is chilly year-round, and there's always the risk of injury. Located just north of Athabasca Falls and about a 15-minute drive from Jasper.
