Review:
Deep in the Canadian Rockies in the middle of Jasper National Park, lies 22-km long Maligne Lake, a turquoise jewel surrounded by the deep green of majestic spruces and lodgepole pines.
Fed by melt waters of the Coronet Glacier, the lake is an exceptionally popular destination for tourists, avid fishermen, campers, kayakers, and nature lovers from all over the world.
There are two excellent campgrounds and numerous hiking and cross-country skiing trails around the lake.
You might even spot beavers, caribou, moose, Harlequin Ducks, or grizzly or black bears. Take a walk on the small but picturesque and mysterious Spirit Island in the middle of the lake and take spectacular photos of the distant snow-covered peaks of the Rockies.
