Vermilion Lakes are located 2.4km away from Banff, in the Bow River Valley below Mount Norquay. It's a nature lover’s paradise of wetlands to explore and mountains reflecting on still waters. Visitors can marvel at sunsets painting the sky orange over the lakes, try snowshoeing around the area or take an evening paddling excursion. Observe the Northern Lights dancing above the water or catch a glimpse of local wildlife. For those seeking an outdoor adventure, Vermilion Lakes offer a variety of trails to hike and activities to partake in. Be sure to stop to admire the spectacular views of the surrounding Canadian Rockies!
