Banff's largest lake

Sightseeing

Message from Jana & Matej

Lake Minnewanka is the largest lake in Banff National Park, stretching approximately 21 kms in length. It is a MUST SEE place in Banff as its size is truly majestic.

It is a beautiful spot for picnicking, biking, taking photos or exploring the trails in the area. You can also take a boat cruise where you learn a bit about history of this area.

The Lake Minnewanka Trail follows the western shore of the lake, offering stunning views of the lake. Depending how far you go, you can reach Stewart Canyon or Aylmer Lookout.
