Swiftcurrent Lake
The core lake of the glacier lakes region. Many Glacier Hotel stands on its shore, and the lake surface mirrors Grinnell Peak.
The trail around Swiftcurrent Lake is about 4 km long with almost no elevation gain, making it ideal for a family stroll. Wooden tour boats that have operated since the 1920s run on the lake and connect with boat tours on Josephine Lake, providing access to the Grinnell Glacier trail and Grinnell Lake. On calm mornings, the reflections of Grinnell Peak and Mount Gould are clear. You can also rent canoes and kayaks at the lakeshore.
Opening hours
Open all day; boat trips approx. late June–September
