Stretching for twenty-two kilometres beneath a backdrop of rugged peaks, Maligne Lake is the largest natural lake in the Canadian Rockies. Fed by glaciers and snowmelt from the surrounding mountains, its deep blue waters are famous for their clarity and dramatic setting. While many visitors experience the lake from the shoreline or by boat, this section offers a quieter perspective, with views across the water toward the mountains that define one of Jasper National Park's most iconic landscapes.
