Connie ChiuJuly 6, 2018Get here early! Parking fills up fast and it gets crowded af. The lake Agnes hike to the tea house is awesome. You’ll see lake mirror, then you can loop up to beehive for spectacular views.
Sabrina S.September 14, 2015Probably the most amazing place on earth though always very busy with tourists taking snapshots. If you can & have the time, rent a canoe & go on it, it's bound to be calmer & the views even better!!
Y PSeptember 6, 2015Glacial lake that changes colors depending on your elevation and weather! Get your tripod and start taking pictures before the sun rises to avoid the crowd.- Matthew HuieFebruary 29, 2016Rent a canoe and take it out on the lake. Also, check out nearby Moraine Lake for a less touristy experience.
Gabriel SeahApril 10, 2018In winter (or cold times in spring) when it freezes over you can ice skate and play ice hockey on the surface- DorsaOctober 21, 2019Arrive before 6 AM, if you want a parking spot. You can park at Lake Louise Village and take the bus from there to the lake front, very convenient.
Adam SigelSeptember 25, 2017One of the prettiest places I’ve ever been. All the Instagram photos are taken June-August but it’s best in late September with a lift dusting of ❄️
Michael CluzelAugust 18, 2014Nice mountain backdrop, clear cold water, try the deli shop in the Chateau for solid affordable grub. In the end BC lakes beat Alberta lakes though :)
Claire LaDecember 20, 2014Great place to snowboard for all levels. Be careful of speed limits one you are in the park! Also there's Park fees (but not of you're passiing through!)
B NashJune 17, 2016The emerald colour of the water comes from rock flour carried into the lake by melt-water from the glaciers that overlook the lake.- Kittie ChanSeptember 18, 2015Absolutely beautiful place. Go around to the end of the lake and hike th Plain of Six Glaciers - 380m gain, around 8.5km return.
Tracy StumSeptember 18, 2023An absolute must when in Banff. This natural beauty does not disappoint. Come early to avoid the crowds.
James LeutriAugust 14, 2014Very beautiful. Get there early or expect to park pretty far. The earlier the better - 8am is best time.
Liana CascianiJuly 5, 2017Gorgeous scene, but even at 515-6 am sunrise is busy. If you want no humans it's not the best lake to visit.
Mar RouzJune 9, 2012The view was breathtaking! Definitely bring a camera. Good profile picture for facebook hehe. There was still ice on some part of the lake. You cant stop staring at it.
Lani MAugust 2, 2018Arrived before 8am and it was already packed. Wish we had arrived earlier. So beautiful.
Glynis SeifriedJune 30, 2014Don't expect to snack after 10:00 p.m. a lot of restaurants z& pubs clise at 10 p.m. but great site-seeing
Shane DahlJuly 11, 2013Amazing doesn't explain how beautiful this Lake is. I was so happy we came here.
StephanieFebruary 21, 2015Anything you want to do can be done here! Hiking, snow shoeing, cross country skiing!
Natalie ManningOctober 6, 2013Beautiful... But don't forget Moraine Lake... Even better and less tourists
Laura CovingtonAugust 16, 2013watch out for hypothermia. a dip in the water was too much for tierra and she didn't even win sean's final rose.
EmmanSeptember 20, 2011Take time to drop by Morraine Lake. It's just 20mins drive from here. Follow signs on the way out.
Ana MtzJuly 15, 2019Must la foto típica; llegar muy temprano o muy tarde por qué el estacionamiento se llena cañón; hay shuttles en village Loise
