Rocky mountain beaches
Jasper National Park
Keep park waters clean. You can prevent the spread of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS). Before you drive to Jasper, clean, drain, and dry all watercraft and items you plan to put in the water here. Make clean-drain-dry a habit every where you go!
Are you looking to relax on a beach in the Canadian Rockies? Jasper National Park is home to several lake beaches to quench your thirst for sand, sun, paddle sports, and the best part, mountain views!
Lake Annette
Situated across the Athabasca River from town, this lake is a favourite of locals and visitors alike. Dig your toes into the sand or hit the lake for a paddle after a day in the mountains (dock on site). The day-use area offers picnic tables, fire rings with grills, a playground and a field perfect for throwing a Frisbee or flying a kite. A wheelchair and stroller-friendly paved interpretive trail loops around the shores of Lake Annette.
The beach at Lake Annette is smoke free and dog free. There are designated areas for smoking and dogs

Lake Edith
Surrounded by mountains, relax in the red chairs and snap a selfie with a gorgeous turquoise lake view. Lake Edith is a short walk from Lake Annette and offers a quiet beach and dock. Wade into this glacier-fed lake slowly or if you're brave – dive in!
Options to get there: Bike or hike to Lake Annette and Lake Edith – Trail 13 (Bighorn Alley) or Trail 14 and 18 (Woodpecker and Red Squirrel). Access the Lake Edith dock from the Maligne Lake Road. Both beaches are accessible by car.
