Linnet Lake
A small lake beneath the Prince of Wales Hotel, with a roughly 1 km barrier-free loop path, ideal for a relaxed stroll and a picnic.
Linnet Lake lies at the north entrance to town, between Upper and Lower Waterton Lakes. The paved loop path is level and easy, accessible by wheelchair and stroller, with interpretive signs about the wetlands and birds along the way. The lake reflects the surrounding peaks, and in the soft evening light water birds and deer often appear. There are picnic tables beside it. It is well worth a 20 to 30 minute stop before or after arriving in town.
