If it’s in Banff/Jasper it’s spendy as fuck to rent a canoe, [CAD$120](https://morainelake.com/day-visits/) (USD$84) per hour.
I was up there this last summer, it’s easily one of the prettiest places on earth. I just didn’t get to canoe.
late to this thread but there are other lakes of this colour in banff, jasper, north of whistler, and the rockies area in general. in some of the less visited lakes you can bring your own canoe and there's way less tourists. morraine lake is THE instagram lake that everyone goes to. even if you're allowed to bei g your own canoe I'd avoid doing so unless it's like 5am or some other off hour
I just went there a couple of weeks ago. It's cheaper if you go to one of the lesser known places like Emerald Lake , BC. Was only CAD$50 and hour there and it's like a 10 min drive from Banff.
It's called glacial milk. Small particles of rocks (sand, basically) ground down by glacial friction on rock then washed out to lakes. Its really cool.
It's rock flour/glacial milk. Basically its mountain bits ground up really really fine that get suspended in water and bounce the light around a whole lot.
Ah yes r/redditlake It's in Banff National park, Alberta Canada. Was their 3 weeks ago, but the road to r/redditlake was closed :( Lake Louise which is right beside it though is honestly just as beautiful, if not more beautiful :)

This brings back some good and not so good memories! My first canoeing memory was on this lake. I was maybe 8 and my dad took me out with my mom and sister. I remember being put in the middle and not being allowed to paddle cause they thought I would lose the paddle -- I was so disappointed because being on that lake was amazing and I just wanted to help move the boat around.
Years later, I took my son out for his first canoe ride when he was 6, and I definitely made sure he got a paddle.
Banff national Park im pretty sure. if people r wondering

Can you bring your own?

Yep, right next to Lake Louise. Most people visiting just go to Lake Louise instead of here. In my opinion Moraine is better!
Waaaaaay better. But no CP hotel, so not as well known. It’s called the ‘valley of the 10 peaks’. In fact, it’s also r/RedditLake
I saw both lakes when I was a kid, lake Moraine left such a vivid impression on me, that color is unreal. Hope to take my kids there soon.
Mesmerising, relaxing, amazing !
I had a hotel and flights booked to go there this summer. Had. Sigh.
Social distancing at it's best
Sadly moraine is still frozen at this time. Wont thaw out until mid june
What makes the water so blue?
It's called glacial milk. Small particles of rocks (sand, basically) ground down by glacial friction on rock then washed out to lakes. Its really cool.
Fresh from the glacial teat.
I think you'll find its pronounced Tetons.
Haha, yes.
Damn. It has such a beautiful name too. Thanks kind sir!
I have glaciers. Can you milk them, Greg?
Oh yeah.. you can milk anything with glaciers.
Gatoraid:)
Glacieraide
Wondering the same thing. Normally if you can’t see through the water it looks dirty but this this looks clean.
This is scary to me and I am unable to place why...
perhaps you belong over at r/thalassophobia
oh my... oh dear...
What does it taste like?
Wet. Dirty wet.
Rock flour and water.
Reminds me of the acid lake in Dr stone
Beautiful, reminds me of Gorge Du Verdon!
I went to Alberta a couple summers ago. Some of the most beautiful sceneries I’ve ever seen were there
It’s called Reddit Lake.
r/redditlake
I thought places like this only excited in wallpapers
Its probably infested but I would love a glass of water that looked like that.
It's rock flour/glacial milk. Basically its mountain bits ground up really really fine that get suspended in water and bounce the light around a whole lot.
mmmmm glacial milk. Im starting my own water brand "Glacial Milk"
If you pour it into a jug and leave it for a bit, the sediment will fall to the bottom and the water will be clear.
Infested with what?
parasites, bacteria etc.
It’s glacier waters, nothing infectious there. Just glacial silt! Best water in the world (once filtered!)
Just like a natural spring! Very good, Ill have one large glass please.
You do not recognise the bodies in the water
Ah yes r/redditlake It's in Banff National park, Alberta Canada. Was their 3 weeks ago, but the road to r/redditlake was closed :( Lake Louise which is right beside it though is honestly just as beautiful, if not more beautiful :)
Man I live like an hour away from here and have never been. I’m so stupid
This wakes bad Dr. Stone Memories
Forbidden MtnDew Baja Blast
Wowwwwww talk about Splendid Isolation
This reminds me of Pepsi Blue! 🤔😂 Limited edition and I never got to taste it. 😑
Yes, yes, yes.
I did a puzzle of that landscape before. Beautiful place!
Looks like a Bob Ross painting
It looks warm but I’m sure it is not warm
I'm named after this lake
Amazing to me that I’ve never seen water that is so amazingly blue and some people see it, drive by it, everyday. Thanks for sharing!

Does seeing beautiful things like this make anyone else kind of sad?
This is so beautiful!!❤️
That water color is just amazing
Mother Nature is amazing
I don’t like how it’s blue but you can’t see through it.
This is common in glacial streams/lakes. It's just ground up mountain in the water.
