Paddling & Rafting
Paddle Lake Minnewanka
Exploring Banff’s largest lake on your own strength and power is a revitalizing thrill. Gliding away from the dock in a canoe or kayak, you might well find yourself feeling very small in the magnitude of the landscape. Rightly so – Lake Minnewanka extends through the mountains for 21 km and reaches depths of nearly 150 metres. Wave to the hikers on the shoreline as you take in a different perspective, one normally reserved for the waterfowl that float alongside you.
