We took in many spectacular sights in Jasper during a wintery April weekend. Many of the places I had seen before in summer were even more awesome in the winter snow and ice. However unfortunately this was not true of Maligne Lake. The place was completely deserted. The lake was frozen and all of the amazing color was hidden. If... More

Maligne Lake is located in the Maligne Valley in Jasper National Park, Alberta. Maligne Lake is the second largest glacier-fed lake in the world, stretching 22km (14mi). Maligne Lake and its natural beauty with pristine blue water, breathtaking views and undisturbed wildlife attracts many visitors every year. This beautiful lake and surrounding area is also a great place for hiking... More

Few people seem to take the time to drive up to Maligne Lake during winter and they have no idea what they are missing out on. We spent 4 nights at Jasper Park Lodge over Christmas and 2 of the days we spent snowshoeing around Maligne Lake. The views were absolutely spectacular, the snowshoeing was good-very good and, most importantly,... More

There's nothing like the rockies! We stay in Jasper for two night, and the first evening there a herd of Elk came into town. The bull was bugling it was so cool, the next day we went for a drive up to maligne lake. On the way there we saw a bighorn sheep a wolf a moose and a grizzly.... More

The lake is one of the best around Jasper National park and is bigger than others. There are some nice trails to practice hiking. We did "The bald trail", about 3 hours return. It was quite hard at the begin but when you get the top you can forget the bad moments. There were some attractions as boat rents and... More

My friend and i did a month,s tour of the Rockies , Vancouver [and island] and a cruise to Alaska,and although we saw some fantastic sights for me the highlight of my tour had to be Maligne lake and the road to it. We did the lake cruise to Spirit island-I felt it was quite expensive, but glad I did... More

We did the boat ride to Spirit Island. This was a lovely attraction with a view you will not soon forget, and an absolute paradise if you fancy yourself a photographer. Likes: price was reasonable. You can get a bit of a discount if you book through one of the adventure tour places in Jasper and bundle it with some... More

The road in to the lake was great as there are opportunites to see wildlife (we saw a bear on the side of the road) but until you make it to the lake is when you really start to get excited. I took the boat that will take you across the lake with views of glaciers and massive mountains and... More

The views of the lake were beautiful. It is worth the walk up the 100 steps to see it from the top. From each sure of of the top the views of the lake and mountains were fantastic. I even enjoyed the sign near the hiking trail warning about grizzly bears.
