Probably 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!!

Get 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 .

Glacial 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 Huie

Rent a canoe and take it out on the lake . Also, check out nearby Moraine Lake for a less touristy experience.

Adam Sigel

One 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 ❄️

Gabriel Seah

In winter (or cold times in spring) when it freezes over you can ice skate and play ice hockey on the surface

Dorsa

Arrive 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.

Michael Cluzel

Nice 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 :)

Tracy Stum

An absolute must when in Banff. This natural beauty does not disappoint. Come early to avoid the crowds.

Claire La

Great 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!)

The emerald colour of the water comes from rock flour carried into the lake by melt-water from the glaciers that overlook the lake .

Kittie Chan

Absolutely beautiful place. Go around to the end of the lake and hike th Plain of Six Glaciers - 380m gain, around 8.5km return.

Mar Rouz

The 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.

Dallas Clark

The top is well worth the effort. Just do it!

James Leutri

Very beautiful. Get there early or expect to park pretty far. The earlier the better - 8am is best time.

Liana Casciani

Gorgeous scene, but even at 515-6 am sunrise is busy. If you want no humans it's not the best lake to visit.

Claudia

Beautiful in summer and in winter

Stephanie

Anything you want to do can be done here! Hiking , snow shoeing , cross country skiing !
