Johnson Lake in Banff is a hidden gem loved by locals for its calm waters, making it perfect for swimming and paddling. Unlike other lakes in the area, Johnson Lake is less windy, allowing visitors to enjoy a relaxing day on the beach or explore the surrounding trails. With a rope swing for added fun and facilities like picnic tables and bathrooms, it's an ideal spot for a day of outdoor relaxation and recreation in the Canadian Rockies.

To find the rope swing, walk around the south end of the lake and you'll eventually see it hidden in the trees.
