Lake Agnes is a cozy little mountain lake tucked away at Lake Louise. It's a perfect spot for a scenic hike, with a teahouse perched on the eastern shore where you can take a breather and enjoy the view at 2134 meters above sea level (however, the lines are always very long at the teahouse).

This is a popular trail and gets quite crowded around the lake so is recommended to hike early (before the teahouse opens at 8:00am) or later in the evening.
