In October, Lake Louise is not solidly frozen yet. Although the region receives a lot of snowfall, and the Lake Louise Ski Resort generally opens up in early November, but October is hit-and-miss when it comes to seeing the lake partially frozen with peaking blue waters.    The month of November is usually the first time that Lake Louise freezes. You can walk on the frozen lake, but can still find patches where there is thin ice (so exercise caution if visiting the lake around this time).
