Lake Minnewanka Picnic Area

The Lake Minnewanka picnic area is a scenic and well-maintained spot located close to the lakeshore, offering beautiful views of the water and surrounding mountains. It features numerous picnic tables, some with fire pits, making it a great place for a relaxed outdoor meal or gathering. There are also covered shelters available on a first-come, first-served basis, providing shade or protection from sudden weather changes. The area is equipped with washroom facilities and garbage bins to help keep the space clean. It’s a popular stop for families, hikers, and boaters looking to take a break and enjoy the natural surroundings, so arriving early is a good idea during busy months. Wildlife, such as ground squirrels and sometimes even bighorn sheep, may be seen nearby, so visitors are reminded to keep food secure and follow Parks Canada's guidelines for safe and responsible picnicking.
