Cameron Lake
A high mountain lake at the end of Akamina Parkway. The south end of the lake crosses into the United States, and you can rent canoes or stroll the lakeshore trail.
Cameron Lake sits at about 1,660 meters, surrounded on three sides by cliffs and glacial cirques. Its southern half lies in Montana, USA. In summer, boats can be rented at the lakeshore, including canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. A gentle trail of about 1.6 km along the west shore suits family walks, and grizzly bears are often spotted on the slopes across the lake through binoculars. The drive from town along Akamina Parkway covers about 16 km and takes about 30 minutes. The parking lot fills up by midday in summer, so go early.
