Pyramid Lake

We paddled Pyramid Lake in Jasper in late September. You can access the lake at the Pyramid Lake Lodge beach (which has a nice dock) or just past the Pyramid Island parking lot. We usually use the Pyramid Beach Park launch (it is the nicest), with a pit toilet, picnic tables, good parking, and lovely, gentle beach launch.

We went left of the beach and followed the shoreline around the lake. It's about a 90-minute to 2-hour paddle. There are creeks that come in and sometimes we've seen animals along the shore.

About half way around is this nice sandy beach where we stopped to have lunch.

We then paddled down to the outflow.

And then back towards Pyramid island. You can either paddle around the island or duck and go under the bridge.

We finished with a paddle past the lodge docks and a nice landing back at the beach.

This is a really nice, family friendly paddle unless it is windy (and then it sucks). In the past, we've combined it with a paddle on nearby Patricia Lake. You can also rent kayaks and canoes from the Lodge, which is handy.
