My husband and I visited here 25 years ago. it is still very beautiful and a must see. Obviously, it is a must see for many, many people, as there were crowds!!! Don't be discouraged. Get there early. Many of the side trails you need four people, as there are many grizzlies in the area, but not by the lake.... more

We set out in the morning principally to see Lake Louise, which was gorgeous to be fair. Heading back we saw the sign for Moraine Lake without knowing too much about it. Having time we went for a look and it was the most beautiful sight of the trip and, in our opinion, better than Lake Louise. The dramatic scree... more

You should definitely find time to make it to this spot if you are in or near Banff National Park. My favorite trail is the rock pile. Come in the morning and be sure to bring your camera! more

My husband started our trip to the Canadian Rockies at Moraine Lake. We hiked the Larch Valley trail and when our five days in Banff National Park were done, it was still our favorite lake and trail! The trail is steep in places but the views are worth every ounce of effort we put in. We hiked through Larch Valley,... more

We flew into Calgary and drove to Moraine Lake (stayed in the cabins at the Lake - awesome - wrote up in another review). The weather was rainy most of the time (it starts in late Sept. and that's when we were there). But absolutely stunning all the same! I highly recommend this place if you love to hike, horseback... more

What started out as a drive from Banff to the IceFields wound up as a drive to Moraine Lake, and Golden, circling back to Banff at the end of our day. Moraine Lake is as beautiful as Lake Louise. We enjoyed it because it was less crowded, and much smaller in size. It makes up in being remote, and is... more

the review title says it all, this lake is not far from lake louise and is far more beautiful.... there's not much else to tell really, check it out for your self. nature at it's best, God bless mother nature!!!!! more

Moraine lake in my opinion is much nicer than Lake Louise. The views from the top of the rockpile are magnificent. There are lots of chipmunks and ground aquirrels around and we saw a black bear up close and personal on the road out. He was right beside the passenger side window eating berries. Beautiful. If you are of a... more

Moraine Lake is amazing! I could have stayed at the top of the Rockpile for hours, taking it all in! As it is, there are other worthwhile activities in the area--canoeing (for rent at Moraine Lake Lodge) and hiking. In fact there are five notable hikes that start there, not including the easy trail around lake. We chose the Consolation... more
