The best lakes in Canada
Canada is the land of maple syrup, ice hockey, and of course, overwhelmingly beautiful nature! It is also called the “Land of a Thousand Lakes”, and with good reason. Here are, in our opinion, the five most beautiful Canadian lakes.
1. Moraine Lake, Banff National Park
This enchanting glacial lake has to be at the top of the list. What a beautiful photo! In winter the whole lake is frozen (which doesn’t make it any less beautiful) but the road to the lake is also closed. If you want to see this beautiful image with your own eyes, it is best to visit it in July. By then the ice has completely thawed and the water is a stunning brilliant blue. You can also take your canoe on the lake; an unforgettable experience.

2. Azure Lake, British Columbia
Right in the ‘Ogilvie Mountains’ you will find this beautiful lake. Azure Lake is not really a lake, but part of the Azure River. In the National Park where this gem is located, you can enjoy breathtaking hikes and make your friends back home jealous with photographs of the best views and panoramas imaginable. You are guaranteed a beautiful experience!

3. Berg Lake, Mount Robson Provincial Park
Caves, waterfalls and glaciers can be found in this park, next to a beautiful lake of course! There is a reason why it is on the Unesco World Heritage List. The park and lake are easily accessible via the trails, but keep in mind that the hike is an adventure in itself. Take your time and camp in one of the designated spots so that you arrive at the lake fully rested and can enjoy it to the fullest.

4. Peyto Lake, the Rocky Mountains
This is said to be one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, and with good reason! In the summer, the lake turns an attractive blue color as the ice melts. The color changes for each season, but also the time of day you visit the lake can affect the color of the water. How amazing! Make sure you go up to the lookout, it’s amazing.
