Patricia & Pyramid Lakes
Patricia Lake / Pyramid Lake
Two lakes just a 10-minute drive north of town, with Pyramid Mountain reflected in the water and a wooden bridge leading to an island in the lake.
Patricia Lake and Pyramid Lake are located about 5 to 7 km north of Jasper town, with the reddish-brown Pyramid Mountain at their back. A wooden bridge leads to a small island in Pyramid Lake, and the mountain's reflection on the water is most beautiful at sunrise. You can rent canoes and paddleboards at the lakeshore, swim in summer, and ice-skate in winter when the lake freezes. Patricia Lake is quieter, and moose and beavers are often seen there. Admission is free with a park pass. There are picnic areas and holiday cabins by the lake. The surrounding woodland still shows traces of fire from the 2024 wildfires.
