This region has a lot to boast about. Maligne Lake is the longest natural lake in the Canadian Rockies. The lake drains into the Maligne River from the lake to Medicine Lake – The Disappearing Lake. The mystery begins here. It is the beginning of what is believed to be the largest karst system or underground river in Canada, yet to be explored. The Canyon, the Athabasca River and the surrounding lakes all originate from this karst system at the lower end of the valley. Still, there has yet to be a discovered way to access the caving system either from the end of the lake or the Canyon, keeping it a mystery. Your guide will explain it to you in his commentary.
Wildlife in winter may include elk, caribou, bull elk, great horn sheep, wolves, coyotes, etc.
During the summer months you will have the opportunity to take a boat cruise on the lake.
