Kananaskis Lakes are some of our favorite lakes to enjoy in the summer. The Upper and Lower Kananaskis Lakes are surrounded by colossal peaks that visitors can hike around or enjoy from the shore. Sarrail Ridge is a classic with sweeping views of the lakes.

The lakes have a large beach area that is perfect for enjoying a warm summer day with the family. So pack a blanket and cooler with some treats for a beautiful day out - they even have fire pits!

Those hoping to get out on the water will enjoy a paddle along the shore. The lake is also one of the few in the Canadian Rockies that allow for private motor boats, granted it's rarely busy.
