Banff National Park

Bow Lake is a small lake in western Alberta, Canada. It is located on the Bow River, in the Canadian Rockies.

 

The lake lies south of the Bow Summit, east of the Waputik Range (views including Wapta Icefield, Bow Glacier, Bow Peak, Mount Thompson, Crowfoot Glacier and Crowfoot Mountain) and west of the Dolomite Pass, Dolomite Peak and Cirque Peak.

 

Bow Lake is one of the lakes that line the Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park and Jasper National Park.

 

The water in the lake is meltwater of the Bow Glacier and its turquoise colouring is due to glacial till.
