Bow Lake

Alberta, Canada

Bow Lake is a picturesque glacial lake located in Alberta, Canada, within the Canadian Rockies at an elevation of about 1,920 meters (6,300 feet).

It lies along the Icefields Parkway, approximately 30 minutes north of Lake Louise and about two hours south of Jasper. The lake is fed primarily by meltwater from the nearby Bow Glacier and is known for its vibrant turquoise color caused by the fine glacial sediments suspended in the water. Bow Lake offers stunning views of surrounding peaks such as Bow Summit, Crowfoot Glacier, and Mount Thompson, making it a popular spot for photography, hiking, and picnics.

Visitors can also explore the Bow Glacier Falls trail, which leads to the base of the glacier. The lake is a serene destination year-round, with winter activities like snowshoeing and ice skating available amid breathtaking snowy landscapes.
