Thinking of Canada you probably think of the beautiful nature. If you search online for Canada, you will find the most beautiful pictures of this amazing country. I’ve been in Canada but have only seen a very small part of the country, because it’s so big! My road trip through the west of Canada was really great. Because the lakes of Canada are really beautiful I will share the most beautiful ones I’ve seen with you.

Moraine Lake

Moraine Lake is one of the two most famous lakes in Canada. The lake is located in Banff National Park. The water is so clear and has a great blue-green color. The water in this lake is pure glacier water. You can make beautiful walks around the lake. A nice experience is to rent a canoe and go canoeing on the lake.

Lake Louise

The second lake in Banff National Park is Lake Louise. This lake is the most photographed lake of Canada. The lake was even the symbol of the American 20-dollar bill once. At Lake Louise you can also walk, canoe or hang your bare feet in the fresh water. Planning a visit to the lake? Make sure you are on time to be ahead of the worst crowd because it’s very busy in the high season.
