Maligne Lake - Continue from Medicine Lake to the beautiful Maligne Lake, where you can choose between a boat cruise to Spirit Island or a 2-mile (3.2 km) guided hike on an easy, level trail.
Please Note: Spirit Island is accessible only by water and can be visited by opting for the Boat Cruise, not the Guided Hike.
If you opt for the hiking experience, follow your guide on the Mary Schaffer Loop trail, which traces the shore of Maligne Lake to a stunning viewpoint with interpretive displays and benches, before heading into the trees and back to the starting point.
If you choose the boat cruise, board a comfortable enclosed boat with large windows for a scenic tour on Maligne Lake. The boat will stop at Spirit Island, a small jewel in the lake, where you’ll have time for photos and a brief stroll. Please note this is NOT included for guests who choose the WALK option.

Possible sightings include bears, deer, caribou, wolves, moose, bighorn sheep, bald eagles, and osprey, among the many animals of Jasper National Park. At the end of your tour, you will be returned to your Jasper hotel.
