Maligne Lake Reviews
 Breathtaking, A must see!!! Jun 01, 2008
If you pick up any calendar of the Canadian Rockies, you will be sure to see a photo of Maligne Lake and Spirit Island inside, if not on the cover. Maligne Lake is located 40km SE of the Jasper townsite in Alberta Canada, and has a shuttle service from the town if needed. To get out to the site of the famous photograph, you can hike in or take a tour boat, which is well worth the $47/person. ($23.50/child) As you take the boat ride down the lake, you begin to see the changing color of the water into the beautiful bluish green. You are allowed to get off the boat near spirit island, but it is not allowed to walk on the island itself. Maligne Lake is also a popular fishing destination by canoe.

This is a winter review, which is drastically different from a summer review, I'd imagine. In the summer, the lake becomes an active place with boaters, swimmers and the like flocking, to the shores. In the winter, the lake becomes frozen and frosted, leaving a sheet of ice and an eery, calming quiet. It was May and the weather as warm, but the lake was still frozen with a light blue glow and snow blanketing the edges. This is a quick stop in the winter months, but it's well worth the visit.
