This series of shallow lakes just minutes from town is one of the best wildlife-watching spots in Banff, with elk, beavers, ospreys, and great blue herons frequently seen from the roadside pullouts. At sunrise and sunset the still water mirrors the surrounding peaks in shades of pink and gold, making it a photographer's dream that costs nothing to visit.
