Fodor's Expert Review Lake Minnewanka Scenic Drive

Banff National Park Scenic Drive
Lake Minnewanka, Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada

It's easy to spend the day along this 25-km (15-mile) loop. Traveling clockwise, you can explore Lower Bankhead and Upper Bankhead, an abandoned coal mine and mining community. Just 3 km (2 miles) farther you come to Lake Minnewanka, the park's largest lake. Boat and fishing rentals are available. Still farther along are more lakes and picnic areas.
