Medicine Lake, located along Maligne Lake Road, is often called "the disappearing lake" because its water levels change with the seasons.

When it's summer time, the lake fills from drainage from Maligne river, while in fall and winter the lake disappears, becoming a mudflat with scattered pools of water connected by a stream. No matter what time you visit, tt's a beautiful place to stop and take a photo on the way to Maligne Lake.
