Water from Maligne Lake disappears from view and reappears at this fascinating geological spot. Hike along its edges, traverse its narrow bridges and marvel at its stunning waterfalls.Banff National Park and Lake LouiseNothing can quite prepare you for the turquoise shimmer of the glacial Lake Louise in Banff National Park. A popular ice-skating spot in winter, in summer you and the family can explore it by canoe or paddleboard.It’s well worth stopping off here for the night so that you can also enjoy the breathtaking 3.4km trek from Lake Louise to Lake Agnes and a visit to the famous Lake Agnes Teahouse, a popular local activity. Holidays for families here can include a range of fun-filled local sports, such as indoor ice-skating, horse riding, mountain biking or a visit to the stunning Columbia Icefields Glacier.Biking Along the Shores of Bow LakeStill in Banff National Park, Bow Lake offers great views and flat, easy cycling paths along its shore that will see you clocking up the kilometres through some of Alberta’s most stunning countryside.White Water Rafting through Johnston CanyonAs you travel out of Banff National Park towards Johnston National Park down the Icefields Parkway you’ll pass Johnston Canyon.
