This Memorial Lake is the second largest of the three alpine lakes along the Memorial Lakes Trail in Evan-Thomas Provincial Recreation Area.
Tucked in a dramatic cirque between Mount Bogart and The Tower, it’s surrounded by rugged cliffs, scree slopes, and patches of subalpine forest. The trail climbs beside Evan-Thomas Creek before opening to clear turquoise water—a striking midpoint that captures the wild, remote beauty of Kananaskis Country.
Yield caution in the climb up to the lakes as elevation increases quickly and bears are frequently spotted.
