Joffre Lakes

About the Park

The highlight of this park is the turquoise blue waters of Lower, Middle and Upper Joffre lakes, all three of which are located along the trail. Their striking, saturated blue colour is caused by “rockflour” – or glacial silt – that is suspended in the water and reflects sunlight. Steeply rising from Lower Joffre Lake, the glacier-laden peaks are visible from an easily accessible viewpoint 500 metres from the parking lot.

Camping is permitted at Upper Joffre Lake, a 5.5 km moderate to challenging hike from the parking lot. The small gravel sites are on the far (south) end of the lake. Joffre Lakes has annual temporary closures with specific dates varying yearly. Day-use passes are also required during the summer. Winter camping with no servicing is permitted year round.

  • Pack out what you pack in and take it home with you.
  • Campfires are prohibited all year round.
  • No emergency services are available at this park.
