Where is Leman Lake?

The lake is located near the border of British Columbia, in the southern part of the country, in the southern portion of Banff National Park within the headwaters of the Spray River.

Is Leman Lake worth it?

This is a gem of a lake with clear blue waters. The colours are very strong as a result of glacial silt in the water.

Is the road to Leman Lake unpaved?

The road to the summit is totally unpaved. It’s called Albert River Forest Service Road (Leman Lake Trail). A 4x4 vehicle is required. It’s totally impassable in winters. The last 600m of the road are impassable to vehicles, and you’ll need to hike it.

How long is the road to Leman Lake?

Starting from the paved British Columbia Highway 93, near Radium Hot Springs, the road is about 70 km (44 miles) long.
