Spirit Island is a captivating destination nestled on the picturesque shores of Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park, Canada. This iconic spot offers breathtaking views and boasts eight amazing facts that make it a must-visit location. From being featured in Kodak's Colorama showcase to Apple using its image for promotions, Spirit Island has gained global recognition. Although it's not technically an island most of the time, it offers a unique experience as it sits in a "box canyon" surrounded by towering mountains. The island holds special spiritual significance to the Stoney Nakoda First Nation and provides limited access, adding to its allure. Visitors can embark on a cruise to reach the island, witness the stunning emerald-colored water, capture the perfect photo during the golden hour, and explore the breathtaking beauty of the Canadian Rockies. Spirit Island promises an unforgettable adventure that will leave visitors enchanted and craving for more. Alternatively, a 4-6 hour canoe journey can take you there. This is a massive lake, and winds can pick up anytime. Check the weather before you embark.
