Lake O’Hara and the surrounding areas are renowned for offering some of the most beautiful nature in the Canadian Rockies.  This environment contains beautiful lakes, hanging valleys, colourful larches, and teeming wildlife.

Lake O’Hara has a network of well-maintained trails to facilitate your adventuring. Visitors can enjoy this area as day hikers or plan an overnight stay by camping or booking accommodations at the original 1920s lodge. Access to this area has been limited to preserve this sensitive alpine environment. While this guarantees a more peaceful experience, it also means you should plan ahead if you plan to visit this gorgeous lake.
