Review of Lake Minnewanka

Reviewed August 29, 2019

We happened upon Lake Minnewauka near Banff on a beautiful afternoon. Deciding to venture out on the water, we chose the beer cruise. As soon as we left the dock, both Captains Chris and Joeben crafted a superb experience. Even the safety briefing was laced with humor. Best of all , we loved all the local lore stores Joeben shared. Meanwhile Chris put a smile on a little girl’s face by letting her steer for a bit. Oh and the beer? Four local, all excellent. Highly recommend.

Not Lake Louise but still wonderful

This place is beautiful and a great place to go for a picnic and although it can’t match Lake Louise for wow it is a lot easier to drive, park there and is less crowded and more open. There are plenty of benches to take in what is still a breathtaking view

Family trip

The boat cruise on the lake was very interesting. The staff on the boat are very savvy and really enjoyed explaining the real and fictitious stories of the lake.

Pretty, but not a "must see"

This was the first lake my husband and I had visited and I was very happy we did it in that order. My husband was not impressed at all. I thought the lake was very pretty and worth the trip, however, it does not compare AT ALL (no where close) to Moraine Lake or Lake Louise. I would say this is a great lake to visit if you have some free time, but definitely not a "must see".

Hi Sam A, thanks for visiting. Tough competition when it comes to scenic lakes in the Canadian Rockies. Minnewanka offers more space to get out and explore as we're the largest body of water in the Park, but I fully agree, Moraine and Lake Louise are stunning!

All the best,
