Canoe rentals are available for shoreline bear spotting.

The southern tip of this lake crosses the U.S.-Canada border, but don't worry about carrying your passport. A ridge climb to the west will bring you into British Columbia.

Hikers can stroll a lakeside trail, or use an adjacent trailhead to begin the Carthew-Alderson hike back to the Waterton town site. A few hundred meters back down the Akamina Parkway, another trailhead will take you 1 kilometre west across the low Akamina Pass into B.C.

From Waterton Park village, drive 16 km (10 mile) to the end of Akamina Parkway.
