An excellent swimming hole in Jasper

Message from The Banff Blog

Horseshoe Lake is a local secret and is famous for its emerald waters and dramatic cliff jumping opportunities. This small, horseshoe-shaped lake features limestone cliffs rising 24 meters (80 feet) above the water, creating natural platforms for the adventurous. Even if cliff jumping isn't your style, the clear, deep waters make for spectacular swimming in a unique setting.

The short trail down to the lake reveals stunning views at every turn. Best experienced from mid-July to late August when water temperatures are most comfortable. Weekday mornings offer the most solitude, while sunny weekend afternoons bring a festive atmosphere with locals and visitors enjoying this natural swimming hole.
