Of all the natural lakes in the world, more than 50% are located in Canada. There are more than 20,000 lakes in BC alone on the west coast of Canada, an area equivalent to the size of a country! Not only are Canada's lakes abundant, but they're also beautiful, especially in summer, they're breath-takingly beautiful! This article will tell you about some of Canada's unique lakes.
1. Spotted Lake
Canada's only small desert exists in Osoyoos in the Okanagan region of BC, and the magical Spotted Lake is located here. Every summer, the high temperature will cause a large amount of evaporation of the lake water, and the minerals at the bottom of the lake will gradually be exposed, forming many white-edged boundaries and shallow pools.
These circular spots all over the lake change shape with the flow of the lake, and a gust of wind blows, like hundreds of twinkling eyes.
Not only that, but the color of the lake water is also very magical. The mineral-rich water is sometimes yellow, sometimes white, blue, green, and other colors. The color you see every time you come is different from the last time.
2. Lake Louise
When it comes to Lake Louise in Banff National Park, probably everyone knows it. When you come to Canada, you must go to Banff National Park first, and it seems that it has become a tradition to go to Lake Louise first when you arrive in Banff. Lake Louise can be reached in about two hours by car or tourist bus from Banff via the Bow Valley Parkway. Along the way, there are charming lakes and mountains, and there are often opportunities to see wild animals feeding on the roadside.
Lake Louise has never disappointed any happy tourists. It is as clear as a pearl, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. Boating on the lake is like being in the sky. It is screened by the graceful Mount Victoria, and the mountains and rivers depend on each other to form a perfect landscape photo - a favorite location for photographers.
3. Moraine Lake
Moraine Lake, formed by glacial dissolved water, is recognized as the most photographed lake in the world. The lake's surface is sapphire blue and crystal clear, like a bright pearl. Moraine Lake is located in the famous Ten Peaks Valley (Ten Peaks), and the bottom of the lake is full of mineral-rich gravel, which has been deposited over the years to form a changing blue lake.
Standing by the lake and looking at the rolling Rocky Mountains in the distance, one can't help but sigh at the magic of nature's creation. The stunning view of Moraine Lake was once printed on the back of the twenty-dollar note issued in 1969 and 1979, and the picturesque beauty is admired by everyone.
4. Lake Huron
Tobermory, Ontario is known as Canada's "Shipwreck Capital", with shipwrecks and lighthouses on Lake Huron quietly watching over this land. The lake water of Lake Huron is as green and clear as a huge emerald, and you can even clearly see every scratch on the mottled hull through the lake, and imagine the stars and seas it once conquered.
It is also a famous dark night starry sky reserve. After dusk, the brilliance of the moon begins to rise, and a grand starlight dinner begins on the lake, sunken ships, and cliffs. The deep river water is connected to the deeper and infinite sky by the skyline. The Milky Way in the sky and the sunken ship in the water seem to be having a dialogue between time and space.
5. Lake Superior
In the Sault Ste Marie-Algoma Region, the famous maple leaf capital of Ontario, you can board the train and drive into the Agawa Canyon, which has beautiful autumn scenery. The colors of autumn, the early rise of the autumn pond, and the red maples everywhere are breathtakingly beautiful.
