All of these lakes are ideally suited to float tubing. For adventurous anglers there are more than two dozen high-country lakes scattered throughout the rugged Rocky Mountains in southwest Alberta. Many of these are found in Waterton Lakes National Park. The remainder are located between the park boundary, north to Highway 3 in the Crowsnest Pass. Rainbows, cutthroats, brookies and goldens are all found in these back-country waters.
Hiking trails vary in length and difficulty.
Some alpine lakes may be reached in less than two hours, making day visits possible, while others require more time and are better suited to overnight trips. The breath-taking scenery alone is worth the effort required to reach these remote mountain lakes.
