The iconic Lake Louise scenery is absolutely breathtaking. There's no better way to experience the beauty of the surrounding mountains and the crystal clear glacier water than while paddling in a canoe in the middle of it all. There's a reason people come from all over the world to visit!

Chateau Lake Louise offers two canoeing experiences to outside guests - hourly boat rentals for individuals as well as their unique guided Family Voyageur Canoe Experience.

"Canoes are a historic way in which to experience the lake as they have been on the water for over a century. Join one of our Mountain Adventure Guides for a paddle on the sparkling Lake Louise from the comfort of our authentic 26’ cedar strip group canoes. As you journey across the lake, your guide will share local stories about the wildlife, the indigenous people and the early explorers. To learn more about this activity, view our Voyageur Canoe Experience Video."
