A gorgeous lake with stunning views year round. Each season offers something different. Quite peaceful and serene in the winter, vibrant in the summer. Atmosphere is beautiful, definitely worth a stop.

Beautiful lake that perhaps has a less dramatic viewpoint than Peyto Lake but still worth a visit. Do note that it is more difficult to get out to the lakeshore when it’s wet as the foreshore area turns into mud.

It's a really nice lake, even if it's not as well-known as Louise or Moraine. Definitely worth checking out, but the parking and facilities weren't great.

Alberta has many big and beautiful lakes. Lake Bow is also a great lake! It gives me relaxation and comfort. I recommend you to go if you have a chance.

Personally, I prefer Bow Lake to Lake Louise. Bow Lake has fewer people, offering a peaceful and serene atmosphere amidst beautiful natural surroundings. It’s only about a 30-minute drive from Lake Louise to Bow Lake, making it a worthwhile destination. If you enjouy hiking, there are several impressive trails, such as my favorite trails, The Onion and Iceberg Lake.

Bow Lake is one of the largest lakes in Banff National Park. Laying at the base of Bow Summit, you can observe beautiful mountain scales set with this gorgeous lake. Bow lodge, once a private residence and sold in 1996, has a “Provisions” area and small patio where you can enjoy a sandwich, coffee or dessert. They have a parking lot and it’s a very short walk to the lake.

Easily reached by car with roadside parking and a viewing platform Bow Lake is a must-stop for any Icefields Parkway journey. Its striking glacial colors, peaceful atmosphere, and accessibility make it ideal for both brief visits and extended exploration. Whether you’re snapping a quick photo, paddling the turquoise water, or hiking toward the glacier, it’s a highlight that outshines its roadside appearance.

Peyto Lake is an absolutely mesmerizing lake, with a brilliant turquoise colour that looks beautiful in any season. The main viewpoint is a very short hike from the parking lot. You can also hike down to the lake, but is harder than the viewpoint. The atmosphere is unforgettable whether it’s foggy, snowing, raining, or sunny.

Beautiful view. Easy short hike. For best view, go there in the late morning or early afternoon before the sun goes behind the mountain and shadow the mountain covers the lake.

The trail was a very steep trail but easy very short hike, its a bit challenging for new trailblazers so recommend support or slow route option. Definitely worth the view, look is so blue and pretty and shaped like a wolf.

This is without a doubt one of the most beautiful lakes in Alberta and in all of Canada. The short hike to the viewpoint is absolutely worth it, offering stunning scenery and photo opportunities. It can get quite busy, so it’s best to arrive early to fully enjoy the experience in peace.

I loved Peyto more than Lake Louise. Blue water surrounded by mountains was breathtaking. Pretty normal hike (<1km) that leads to the deck to view this beauty. Parking available.

Peyto Lake was one of the most beautiful lakes I visited during my trip to Banff and Jasper. The short hike up to the viewpoint was absolutely worth it — the turquoise color of the lake is breathtaking and looks almost unreal. A must-see stop if you’re exploring the Icefields Parkway!

Peyto you have my heart ❤️. Around 700m hike from parking lot. Its hidden gem. Peyto lake looks very beautiful. Parking lot is big, washrooms on site. Observing Deck is great spot to enjoy this beautiful turquoise lake. Family friendly environment. If you are travelling to Columbian Icefield or Jasper its a quick scenic stop.

I don't have words to explain the beauty of this place. Its must visit place stunning view around the falls, breathtaking scenery and beautiful running water . when you park the car you can't imagine whts next . Just walk towards the bridge and enjoy the water fall at the end. Note: Baby stroller can easily Go there. Note: Washrooms are not that standard, no water access so just sanitizer. Try to avoid to use.

It was an amazing sight, very simple and accessible on the way to this waterfall. You can see it from afar, and it looks majestic, huge, and tall. When you arrive, you have very easy access to the waterfall itself, and you can truly enjoy the view. There are quite a lot of people, and the parking lot gets full, but you can park a little further away and take a short walk. A wonderful place for kids, adults, and seniors. Absolutely stunning!

A must-see destination for all nature lovers! This is the second tallest waterfall in Canada and it’s absolutely breathtaking. The area is pet-friendly! Be sure to dress for the weather, the water is extremely cold, and you’ll definitely catch some mist but the views make it completely worth it.

Pretty cool falls that you can walk right up to. Short walk along the river and across a tiny bridge then another short walk to the base. Turn around when you arrive as the views of the surrounding mountains are almost as good as the falls themselves. Come early as parking lot fills up quick! Don't follow the signs for the toilets as they don't make sense (they are to the right of the parking lot, by the river). Well worth a visit.

Had a wonderful experience exploring takkakaw falls..though to get there was bit of a ride ( some part of the road is narrow) we went there last august after a hot drive and canoeing,it was an amazing view and the water from the falls splashing in our face was refreshing and help us cooled off. Will explore the whol3 area nexr time

The falls were quite loud and powerful rushing over the cliff. As you're driving down you can see it from the road, bouncing off the rocks and creating a beautiful mist. Parking was a challenge and we thankfully found a spot on the side of the road. There were a lot of people but we were able to maneuver around most of them. There are pit toilets at the start and the walk to the falls is an easy, flat .50 mile. Be prepared for crowds.

This is a MUST DO on your Banff trip. The walk to the falls is paved so very easy to make. If you want to approach the falls, do so in boots because the incline is great and the surface is very loose and rocky. Go early in the morning to beat the crowds.

Absolutely fantastic local store that has an eclectic menagerie of assortments and a great wine selection. Unfortunately the owner was an incredibly rude gentleman and followed me throughout the store with his cat in-hand asking me to not take pictures, rushing my selections, and overall making my shopping trip unpleasant. I hope no one else has this experience. I still recommend stopping by and enjoying this gem for the goods!

Very disappointed by the service. Despite purchasing items and that there are picnic tables to enjoy coffees and teas, when I requested the use of a washroom, I was told that there were facilities "down the highway". Prices were very high for almost all items, although that seems "normal" for what I would term a tourist attraction. We used to bring all our guests for a visit, however, this will no longer be the case.

Great store with many handcrafted treats to choose from. We made the mistake of purchasing the "meat lasagna" price tag $32.00 . It consisted of 3 tbsps of meat and little else except sheets of pasta and minuscule cheese..As much as I love to support local, I brought this to the store owners attention and he was nonchalant. Shop wisely friends😉

This place is a hidden gem. Fantastic wine selection, not your typical BC liquor store choice. Great deli selection of local meats, soups and pies.

⸻ The owner (I assume) was very curt when I asked about using his garbage. If you run a business, there are certain basic obligations, like providing a washroom or at the very least a garbage bin. This elderly gentleman told me they had no garbage because of bears, yet I could clearly see a bin behind the door. I would have respected him more if he had simply said he didn’t want to deal with it, instead of making up an excuse.

Delightful products with an active beehive and shop dog. That was the only thing that felt welcoming here. From the moment we went inside we felt like an inconvenience and a bother. I asked politely if I could fill up my water bottle after making my purchase and was told yes. After getting my bottle from my bike I came back in to be told to take the bottles outside; no outside containers allowed.

Very unique & best quality specialty food delicacies & compliments in the middle of nowhere. Very busy with regular customers & new ones like myself, just passing by on the highway with my brother that knew about it already.

This is a very beautiful park with hiking trails,waterfalls and Emerald Lake that is a must see. The views of the Rockies are amazing. The parking can be a problem near the Emerald Lake at times but you can park on the side of the road. You can rent a canoe if you want to do that $100/hour. I saw people swimming as well. Takakkaw waterfalls are gorgeous. There is a long and winding road to get to the falls but it is worth it. There are few lookout points on the way. The parking can be busy at times but you can always find a spot. There are other attractions that you don't want to miss and you need a whole day or more to explore this park.

If you have not planned your national Park visit, you need to stop here too get your permit and plan your day or time. They have info on everything you can do in Yoho national Park. There are flush toilets here. They have a store here. You can get Canada version of passport cancellation stamps here. Park for a car is ready but if you have an RV or trailer it will be very tight to get in and out but there were some in there. They also have some interrogative signage and Yoho brothers across the street. Give this review a like 👍 or ♥️ if you are going to the visitor center or just looking thinking about it.

When they hit you with the park entrance fee, you might think, "Wow, that's almost a nice dinner." But then you drive in, and the park, in its infinite Canadian smugness, delivers a sucker punch of pure, unadulterated beauty. Takakkaw Falls is so majestic, I'm pretty sure a bald eagle landed on my shoulder and wept. Emerald Lake is so impossibly turquoise that it made my Instagram filters redundant, and that's a small tragedy. I had to pay money for this, and honestly, I'm not even mad. The sheer, overwhelming prettiness of it all changed me. I used to be a cynic who scoffed at nature. Now? I am a person who has seen god-tier mountain views. My friends back home are still posting pictures of their backyard vegetable gardens, and I'm over here with my selfie stick, posing in front of a waterfall that looks like it was created by a moody demigod. I'm better than them now, and it's all thanks to the Parks Canada annual pass. Was the park pass expensive? Yes. But consider this: you're not paying for a park. You're paying for a personality upgrade. And frankly, I'm worth it.

Lovely visitors centre and rest stop. Has a small but very good selection of fossils from the area, very helpful friendly staff, a nice little shop, a play park and nice lake with a beach outside. Loads of information about Yoho and the surrounding areas.

Clean, bright, bustling facility with various amenities including a small pond with clear, swimable water, a playground, picnic tables, washrooms with multiple, well kept stalls and sinks (warm water!), seating areas, exhibits, a mini library of local wildlife and history books, cool water fountains, and a bank of phone charging lockers(?). Park employees are in and outside waiting to answer questions and make suggestions.

What a great stop along the way to Calgary or Banff national parks. It’s a fantastic place to learn some history , eat and take a break from driving.

Spectacular. You do need to be early for Emerald lake before the car park is full

⭐ Beautiful tranquil Emerald lake, which takes its name from the lovely green color reflected from the sediments in the lake. There’s a flat walking trail that we could take to walk round the lake, but it is quite a big lake. There are also bear signs/ sightings around the area so need to be careful if walking the trail. Can also rent a canoe 🛶 to go around the lake but it is rather expensive. Pix were taken in early June in the late afternoon.

Visited in early October and the lake was a mesmerizing emerald green. Renting a canoe is a must! the red boats against the green water create a beautiful, striking contrast. Absolutely spectacular scenery. Highly recommend

Emerald Lake is one of the most breathtaking spots in Yoho National Park. True to its name, the water shines in brilliant shades of emerald green, especially on sunny days, and the surrounding peaks reflect beautifully off the surface. The lake is easily accessible, with a flat walking trail that loops around the shoreline, offering peaceful views from every angle.

One of the prettiest places in all of Banff! Get there early so you can enjoy the peace and quiet before the buses show up (also for parking). I highly suggest canoeing if you can. It’s absolutely stunning from the water! There’s a path to walk and a boardwalk/road for those who can’t with beautiful views too!

Emerald Lake is one of those rare places that instantly makes you fall in love with nature all over again. Nestled among majestic mountains and evergreen forests, the lake lives up to its name — its waters shimmer with the most enchanting shade of emerald green, so clear and calm that you can see the reflections of the peaks above like a perfect mirror. The moment I arrived, I was captivated by the peaceful energy that surrounded the place. It feels untouched, pure, and timeless. The walking trail around the lake is easy and scenic, making it perfect for a quiet stroll or photo adventure. Every step reveals a new angle of beauty — crystal waters, wildflowers, and the soothing sound of nature in its purest form. I especially loved the view from the wooden bridge; it’s picture-perfect and gives you a full view of the lake framed by the mountains. It’s no surprise this spot is one of the most photographed places in the region. Canoeing across Emerald Lake was the highlight of my visit. Gliding gently over the calm, jewel-toned water felt magical — like floating in a dream. The silence, broken only by the soft splash of the paddles, was deeply relaxing. There’s also a cozy lodge nearby with a café that serves warm drinks and local food — the perfect way to end a day of exploring. The staff were friendly, and everything felt peaceful and well-kept. Emerald Lake is not just beautiful; it’s healing. It’s the kind of place that makes you pause, breathe deeply, and feel grateful just to be alive. I left with my heart full and my mind calm. A truly five-star natural wonder — serene, stunning, and unforgettable.

Absolutely beautiful lake. Very crowded and not a lot of places to picnic or sit by the lake at all. Still so gorgeous and worth the stop.

A mesmerizing lake with a true wow factor! It’s one of those rare places so stunning it feels like it could change your brain chemistry. The views are absolutely breathtaking perfect for photoshoots, picnics, hikes and enjoying nature

This park is absolutely stunning! The color of the lake is breathtaking. There is an easy scenic trail around the lake with beautiful views of the mountains and wildflowers. It can get overcrowded so it’s best to visit early in the morning or after 3 PM for a more peaceful experience. Otherwise, it is hard to get a parking spot. June and July are the ideal months to witness the beauty at its peak. A must-visit for nature lovers!

The emerald lake was picture perfect place to visit! Emerald green lake, green tree, well-maintained and pretty place. The cafe is cute. The service was nice. I went in with my family while it was raining hard outside (which doesn’t impact the beauty of the lake). Apparently, my family didn’t want anything since ut’s close to the dinner time but the server was very nice and still took a good care of us despite we only order one cocktail—rose sangria which was delicious. I would recommend this place for anyone.

This is such a beautiful place. I didn't get much time in this park. But everything I've seen is absolutely stunning. I love how beautiful Mother Nature can be. ( the creator)

One of the absolute best national parks! Emerald Lake with its highly accessible, indescribable beauty. Takkakaw Falls, Natural Bridge…just couldn’t be better. Slightly less crowded than neighboring Banff, but still crowded at popular spots in the summer.

The park was beautiful… at least the bits we could see! Went at the end of May and almost lot of the major attractions were still closed. This seemed unnecessary given the lack of snow at this time of year. Lake O’Hara busses services weren’t running yet and would have had to walk 11km each way to see it. Takakkaw falls were closed entirely. Only really got to see emerald lake which was super busy. I’m sure it would have been a beautiful 5-star park had we been able to see some of it.

So gorgeous. By far the prettiest place on earth I've been in my life. Please visit if you get the chance, visit all four of the neighboring national parks, they're well worth it.

Amazing scenery at this national Park. Dog friendly trails which is great. Parking is limited at Emerald Lake so get there before or after lunch bus crowds. Nature's bridge is fantastic, small parking lot though

A wonderful rapid mountain river, with a so-called natural bridge made of stones, surrounded by forest and mountains. You can walk and relax, admiring the beautiful scenery. There is a large parking lot.

It's just a stop off the road but probably one of my favorite ones. You can walk right up to the waterfall, although some are probably braver than they should be as they get too close ... or even walk over the rock bridge!!! It's truly amazing watching the water and it's calmer upstream. My daughter even made a little sand structure with the silt.

The Natural Bridge is an amazing stop in Yoho National Park. The Kicking Horse River has carved right through solid rock, creating a powerful natural arch with rushing water beneath—it’s fascinating to see up close. Easy to access with short walking paths and viewpoints, so it’s perfect for a quick stop on the way to Emerald Lake. Beautiful, unique, and worth a visit!

Visiting Natural Bridge was an awe-inspiring experience that reminded me just how powerful and artistic nature can be. Tucked away in a landscape of towering pines and rushing rivers, this geological wonder is absolutely mesmerizing. The bridge itself — formed naturally by centuries of water carving through solid rock — stands as a symbol of strength and timeless beauty. It’s one of those places that leaves you speechless the moment you see it. The sound of the roaring river below adds to the thrill, as turquoise water rushes powerfully through the stone arch. The contrast between the deep, clear water and the rugged rock formations creates a dramatic scene that’s both humbling and breathtaking. Standing at the viewing platform, I felt a mix of peace and wonder — it’s hard not to be amazed by what nature has sculpted here. The area around Natural Bridge is easy to explore, with well-maintained walkways and several scenic viewpoints that allow you to see the bridge from different angles. Each view reveals something new — swirling rapids, moss-covered rocks, and sunlight dancing through the mist. The energy of the place is powerful yet calming, perfect for anyone who loves photography, hiking, or simply soaking in the beauty of the earth. The nearby trails and picnic areas are clean and well-marked, and the staff and park rangers are friendly and knowledgeable. It’s a great spot to visit in any season, but especially stunning in summer and early fall when the colors and light make the entire area glow. Natural Bridge is not just a sight — it’s an experience. It reminds you that true beauty doesn’t need to be built; it’s already here, carved patiently by time and water. A perfect five-star natural wonder — majestic, powerful, and unforgettable.

Very beautiful. It’s just off the highway on the way to Emerald lake, so it’s a two for one attraction.

Free to visit, with a small car park. No specific RV parking, but we parked our 30ft'er on the side of the car park fine. Got busy by 11am. Nice place to stop after Emerald Lake, as along the same road.

The bridge is located in BC, walking through it offers you a beautiful panoramic view for the river and the fall, I went there for a short time by a touristic bus, me and all members of the group enjoyed the place.

Lovely, easy hike in, about 5km round trip on mostly flat though rooty track. Can't go wrong for path finding. Luckily under the trees as it was over 30 degrees. The falls are amazing. Super Luckily we arrived late afternoon and pretty much had it to ourselves.

July 24,2023. Lovely trail, was a random stop otw for our road trip Banff to Vancouver. We feel lucky we stopped here. There are washrooms and parking spaces there. But a gravel road with pot holes. Good luck. We got absolutely soaked when we walked towards the waterfall. We had an absolutely wonderful sunny day and got to see rainbows. We did have to change clothes since we got soaked 😂. My phone somehow survived the wetness of that waterfall.

Get here early and no one will be in your shot. Great 3 mile hike that is easy until the last bit where it’s straight down to the fall then straight back up. I’d be careful with young children. We spent a couple hours with the kids exploring the rocks at the bottom and hiking and were here about 9-1130a which was perfect. Only a couple of other people were here at first but the parking lot had filled up by the time we hiked back.

We really enjoyed our hike out to the waterfalls on this trail despite it being a dreary, drizzly morning. The trail can be a bit slick in these conditions and there are a few mildly treacherous spots, but as long as you're wearing hiking boots and not flip flops like a few fools were doing you will be fine.

The trail is super easy to follow from the trail head car park. The only hard bit for people unsteady on their feet is the up and down to the river bed. Great photos to be had . About 2 hours total.

Nice trail but very muddy with any rain. About 391 ft of elevation of you go down the lowest viewing location. All the elevation is near the end at the falls so it can be easy if you only go to the first viewing. They have pit toilets if you need one😁

Absolutely gorgeous place to sit and look at the beautiful falls and mountains that surround it. This course starts easy but I caution those with small children to think hard before going there. It gets pretty tricky when you get close to the falls so I don't recommend this trail for small children.

Fun roadside stop with a giant twist! If you're driving through the Columbia River Valley, the World’s Largest Paddle is a quirky and memorable stop! Certified by GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS®, this massive hand paddle is over 60 feet long — scaled up 13 times from a real one, and perfectly sized for a 78-foot giant! It's a great spot for a fun photo opportunity, with stunning views of the Purcell and Rocky Mountains all around. There's also a picnic area, so it’s perfect for a quick break to relax and enjoy the scenery. Definitely worth a stop if you're exploring the area or heading to the riverfront!

Fun and a bit unexpected. Certainly the world's largest. It's well-kept, and makes for a great quick stop and photo. Worth seeing if you're passing through, but probably not if it's too far out of the way.

I wasn't excited at first to go see this but I was pleasantly surprised. Beautiful views and great photos ops. There is also a pond and a sitting area in the same space.

The worlds largest paddle as the name says it holds the guiness world record must visit if in Invermere or Golden its between Invermere and Golden. Its free to visit. Ample parking. However the place itself is hard to find as on a 100km road there are no signs or dedicated entrace or exit lane just and unpaved driveway so use maps. The place itslef is located in amazing scenic area mountains all around and Colombia river in center. The paddle is quite huge 60ft long and made out of one log. There are no washroom but a nice waterfall and mam made pond with clear water and deck to take some amazing pics. Check out videos and images and follow me for more detailed reviews.

It's a paddle, but not any paddle. Very quiet and great place to take your brake and see something you don't see everyday. Great for kids and your pets.

So beautiful out there and we got to meet a new friend!! We didn’t get to find out what her name was but she was beautiful and super friendly! She made the stop even more memorable!!!

Great spot for picnic. Appreciate when someone is making something for others (and this is extra special) without making profit of that.

Turquoise colour river running with power! There are pretty good spots to seat and relax with scenic views. I highly recommend to have stop at this attraction.

Was supposed to visit Takakaw Falls but it was closed due to maintenance (October 2023) We went on a detour instead and found this gem near the area! We went down so we can see the closer view of the river and it was amazing. Mother nature is beautiful indeed. P.S. parking is free and a bit spacious. Just be careful when you go down the river and climbing back up to the parking.

Great scenery. Lots of parking. Make sure to wear hiking boots as there are sharp slates everywhere.

Very cool river with some waterfalls

Great area to stop over for a bit and enjoy the scenery, Lots of parking space and lots of information about the area..must be visit when you are heading to banff..

Great area, lots of scenery, decent parking. Cool to see how the water has worn away the rocks.

We visited from New Mexico > absolutely amazing country, nice friendly people everywhere we went > nature in all its beauty

Excellent bridge lookout and walking trail in heart of Golden. There is no entrance fee. Ample parking space there is public washroom and a nice icream shop near it. There are lots of resting bench and nice trail along side the river on both sidefor walking, running, jogging or biking. Pets are allowed but on leash. The main entrance is well made lots of flowers and water fountain. The trail is not paved but stroller and wheelchair friendly. Over all its a highly recommended attraction if you are in Golden. Check out videos and images and follow me for more detail reviews.

Beautiful pedestrian bridge. So authentic! The river has a sublime turquoise color. There are trails along the river with beautiful trees and flowers.

A nice place to relax, with the river bubbling underneath. There are quite a few benches around, all donated. The day we were there, there was a steady stream of pedestrians but definitely not overcrowded.

Lovely way to spend your morning having coffee on a beautiful sunny cool morning in Golden British Columbia. But I like the most is that they offer RV parking in the CP parking lot a very short walk to the river

What an amazing piece of architecture, and hard work! We loved reading the story behind the bridge, and picturing each hand that worked on it. Thank-you to all who had a part on this project. Definitely recommend to stop by the parking lot, and take the short walk across.

The structure feels both grand and calming. Whether you're pausing mid-bridge to take in the turquoise water or simply soaking up the mountain air, it’s a moment worth savouring. The surrounding Rotary trails make it easy to extend your walk and explore more of Golden’s charm.

Of you need to cross the river from Golden then this is the place of your walking out on your bike. Lots of room to navigate. Does a great job getting you safely and confidently over the river. Very good for photos too Connects to Golden's River Walk area Give this review a like 👍♥️ if your reading this review

The tour was a highlight of our trip. Leo is a fantastic story teller and educator and is incredibly knowledgeable about the bison, the wilderness and their history. The tour is well worth it!

We stayed in the cabin for 3 nights. Everything is off grid but Leo, the host, had made it very cosy. The bed in the loft was comfortable and warm, the kitchen was basic but adequate. The evening fire next to the Creek was very relaxing. However the star of the show is Chester Jr and his harem of female Buffalo. How majestic they were. Leo's tour was extremely informative and the whole ranch was a peaceful haven to relax and forget the busy outside world. My only tip would be to bring slippers!!!

The Rocky Mountain Buffalo Ranch is such a special hidden gem in the Canadian Rockies. Leo shared his story while teaching us so much about the animals he loves. The tour was such a fun, authentic experience, and we would recommend it to anyone in the area!

Our family had such a lovely time at the Rocky Mountain Buffalo Ranch. It was easy to find, a short drive from our rented cabin in Golden. Leo's talk about his herd was really interesting. We learned a lot of cool new facts about buffalo and it was easy to get caught up in Leo's passion and commitment to caring for not only his herd, but all wildlife and the environment that sustains us all. We'd seen buffalo before, but it was pretty amazing to be able to stand so near them and observe their behaviors after learning a bit about them.

The tour was great! Leo's explanation on his life with wildlife and in the wilderness and his way to his own Buffalo ranch were really interesting. And obviously he shared a lot of interesting knowledge on Buffalo or "Bison Bison Bison". Seeing his buffalo was amazing. The friction fire demonstration was the most skilled bushcraft demonstration ive ever seen.

This tour is a must if wildlife is your thing, there is no other place to meet and see up close to these magnificent animals besides animals you could find in the Rockies. This tour will introduce you their relationship: the rancher owner,Leo and his bisons, plus, many stories will be told and life of these animals.

This is a brilliant place to stay. Leo is kind and thoughtful and he has put so much thought into the cabins. It’s in a beautiful location and immediatly feels restful. Don’t miss the buffalo tour - it’s fascinating .

Really nice place. All their wolves are rescued. Flora (one of their wolves) is basically a dog/wolf, super cute and well behaved, we were lucky enough to see her come back from her walk

5 minute stop at best for steep price of $60 for family of 4. Would not recommend unless you want to see 4 wolves behind a cage. They have total 6 wolves but all behind cage and can’t get near to get a good view. No tour no anything else. Go if you want to waste money. I personally love wolves and have been to other places but this was total waste. If the money is going towards the wolves I’ll feel like I donated something but I’m not sure how it’s used. Don’t waste your time and money. If you like wolves go somewhere else. This felt like a very sad zoo experience.

Lovely little afternoon with our toddler and a chance to get up close to some beautiful wolves. The staff seemed very caring about the animals and very informative about them. We learned a lot. It’s not a big set up but sometimes it’s nice to just sit and take in the animals and go without the bells and whistles. Our toddler had a great time.

I had an incredible experience at the Northern Lights Wolf Sanctuary in Golden. The passion and knowledge of the staff truly shine through every part of the visit. It’s clear how deeply they care about the wolves and their mission to educate the public about these animals. A special thank you for the opportunity to see and learn about Flora—absolutely stunning and full of personality. It was both humbling and inspiring to witness her presence up close. Thank you to the entire team for your dedication, hospitality, and for the important work you do. I left with a much greater appreciation for wolves and the wild spaces they depend on. Highly recommend this sanctuary to anyone visiting the area.

I loved visiting so much. A very educational and incredible experience. You can tell they love the wolves of BC and want to protect them. Lots of info about culling and unsafe practices by the government I had no idea about! I loved having the chance to interact with Flora as well. @katjaspov for more of my favourite places 🥰

Visited last year. Paid I think $15 each entry (me & 1 friend). Had seen online that they have tours/speeches every hour to talk about the wolves. When we visited in May we were just given a piece of paper to read. When I asked about the talk they do they said they only do that on days when it was busy. There was at least 10 people there at that time. For $150 an hour seems they could do a 10 minute talk. My friend didn’t want to read the double paged A4 paper so she thought it was very cruel they were just in cages. I read the paper which did explain they go on massive walks off leash each day. So I then went and asked some questions which was great and interesting hearing the answers from the staff. Just wish they actually did a 10 minute talk every hour on the hour no matter how many guests. As I did kind of feel like I’d just paid to see some wolves sleeping in small ish cages

Waste of money....! Paid 70 for a family and was expecting a little thru the trail but it ended before it started 🤣 Its great appericiation for them for running that place but it should be free to watch as of its selection, We watch more wildlife on the road rather than paying them and watching 4 sick sleeping wolves in cages..! Wildlife should be left in wild place and not to be put into cages and run as a penny business for human greed..! Lady there was giving huge lecture about human destruction over forests and when i see the wolves, that was miserable.

Smaller resort so a lot less to do. If I was there for mountain biking or snowboarding I would probably give it a higher rating. I was there for an event and there was not much to do besides the event I went for. The gondola was closed, so that didn't help either. I could not find a pool and for the hot tub you had to book a time to go in, this was very strange, I could understand this maybe during COVID but on the regular. Hot tubs are for relaxing not a scheduled time in my opinion. The views are amazing, the food was decent. I was lucky enough to see Boo the Grizzly bear half way up the mountain. That was easily the best part of the resort. The mosquitoes are next level bad, if you go there in the summer just take a shower in bug spray before going outside, I went through almost a whole can over the weekend and walked out with about a dozen or so bites, way better then my friends who had forgot big spray for an afternoon and got dozens of bites each in a few hours. Again big spray, lots of it is a must. Overall worth a visit if you are in Golden or passing through for a night just don't expect it to have the amenities of a bigger resort. Last off the website does say this as well but there is no A/C, I didn't find this a problem but if A/C is a must for you, then keep looking for a different place. Don't think you will just keep the patio door open to cool off the room either, again the mosquitoes are next level and they will get past the screens.

The resort is great for biking and hiking . Winter sports should be excellent. However the chairlift only opens 0945 to 3.30 so if you are hiking high you would have a time restriction if you used the lift . This may mean you miss seeing the bear enclosure. The chairlift does need more time especially in summer when the Gondola is not operational. However the views are stunning

Some of the best and most memorable skiing I’ve ever done happened on this hill. Amazing hill, lodges, and people. Please put this hill on your bucket list!

Boo the Bear is adorable. The guide was knowledgeable and interesting. The kicking horse websites and organization is poor. The website says the chair lift doesn't start till 10. But also the tour starts at 10. But also the tour starts at 10:30. Very confusing. We arrived at 09:45 and bought a ticket and took a chair lift at 09:50. We arrived at the top at 10:13 and had already missed the start of the tour. Show up early and hope the lift is running, I guess! The tour actually ran from 10-past 11:30. It was fantastic but this place makes it hard to plan your day!

Great place to visit as we were staying just down the road in an Airbnb. Be aware that in summer (we visited in September), the shops and lift do not operate on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. The area however is very beautiful, even if you don't go in the ski season.

I love Kicking Horse ♥️ It has a great vibe. Terrain is for advance riders and skiers, a lot of fun runs. It's definitely the steepest mountain I've ever been. I spend 3 amazing days exploring and having the most fun!

We wanted to ride the gondola up to the mountain top restaurant for lunch. It was closed for maintenance. We had a coffee and ice cream while watching the ski lifts take bikers up and they rode the bikes back down the mountain.

Been to chatter 3 times, the most recent visit was disappointing. Staff seamed to be inconvenienced by the guests. Time to a mix it up. Location is great, food was good but service was lousy.

Chatter canceled my last tour. I think after spending over 50 days and $125,000 at Chatter I deserve a better explanation than “I was observed doing something unsafe”. By far the most dangerous thing I did at Chatter was do an entire run under the snow instead of on top of it. A guide from Wyoming thought the run was unsafe for more than 3 skiers so he followed the lead guides tracks instead of adding to the right as instructed. This action probably prevented him from setting off the big avalanche, although he narrowly escaped from being caught in the avalanche I set off. I think if the guide had pulled us from the hill after setting off a 2 ft deep avalanche, I could have avoided my near-death experience. By chance I avoided the large trees and escaped with only had 3 injuries. Luckily, I was fully buried on the cat track near another guest who was able to free himself and was able to dig me out. The tail guide went off searching for me without organizing a search or knowing if there were 1 or 5 skiers buried. I think if I got hung up ½ way down or there had been multiple full burials someone would have died.

Loved it. Best snow cat skiing area in the world. Fantastic facilities deep in the wilds of massive BC mountains. 20 minute Bell 212 12 passenger helicopter ride. Hot tub, pool table, bar, large dining room, great food, and very attentive friendly staff Snow was superb. Steep and semi deep but steep. Save trouble a d rent their powder ski's a d use their ski poles. Avipacks a available for rent. Be sure to tip staff. They deserve it. $100 day for main staff. Leave general staff tip of $100 for length of stay.

Fantastic cat skiing experience! Great atmosphere! Very friendly and professional staff!

The trip was phenomenal, from the snow to the lodge services it was bar none the best trip I have ever been on. Thank you Chatter Creek for an amazing get away.

Special place on earth. I’ve only been here once, but I want to go back every year. Great terrain, great staff, great lodge.

Best skiing of my life. Great staff and food.

It is located in the heart of Glacier National Park, and is about two hours drive from Revelstoke on the way to Golden, on the Trans-Canada Highway. There are beautiful views of the mountains all around. These mountains are popular for ski mountaineering, camping, hiking and mountain climbing. There is a Visitor Information Center here, which has a good display of stuffed wildlife and information about the history of the Pass. There is a public toilet, but no coffee or snacks shop. It is a calm and scenic place with a good rest area and plenty of parking to stop while driving along the highway.

Must stop on highway 1 for breathtaking scenery. Totally amazing!!!

Very scenic drive through the pass just be aware of sudden weather changes and road conditions due to elevation gain. There are a few Avalanche tunnels as well,and remember no gas station between Revelstoke and Golden Parks Canada has a great interpretive center at the summit and nice rest area as well

Nice view on both sides. Small trail but nothing else to do. Turning back on highway is very dangerous. Watch out.

This is my quick goto for a hike. Only 1:45 hour(s) away. A few of the favs; Illecillewaet Glacier (bring your crazy carpet), Glacier Crest, Abbott Ridge (Marion Lake), The Hermit basin, Balu Pass, Mt Sir Donald (a scramble, protection necessary). Great memories of watching "Snow Wars" when I was a kid. A few less services available these days; no gas station and no hotel with the restaurant. And sadly they've had the museum closed for nigh on two years now. Attached are recent pics from Balu Pass.

Mesmerizing views of glaciers

The rest area is a great lunch spot while going over the pass. Large parking lot and pit toilets.

Rogers Pass Discovery is an excellent rest stop with breathtaking views. The gift shop staff are warm and welcoming, and the washrooms are impressively clean. A must-stop spot for travelers!

An excellent place to stop and stretch your legs. The original visitor center is temporarily closed. However, adjacent buildings house restrooms that are clean. The temporary gift shop is very limited, but it's available. This has to be one of the most beautiful settings for area, visitor center.

Good for a quick stop, stretching and washroom break. Take some photos. Thanks goodness we stop by as just ahead there's two cop with photo radar!!

Good spot to watch mountain! The main building is in the progress for maintenance, but still have simple info office for visitors. Not so many gifts available for selecting.

Friendly staff, really clean restrooms! Gift shop is currently *really* limited, because they're undergoing construction on the original visitor center. Lots of good information on local hiking and activities.

Clean washrooms were much appreciated. However, as of today, August 13, the center was closed — it seems for renovations. Our toddler was excited to explore it while stretching his legs, but maybe next time. Gift shop was open.

Although the drinking and restroom facilities are readily available, the information center was not open until past 9:30 AM.

Easily accessible place right off the highway. Initially we were confused since the first spot to enter the path indicated it was closed but then to the left further in the parking we found the start of the boardwalk. It used to be a loop but due to the conditions in the forest, part of the boardwalk collapsed. Unfortunately people were stepped off the boardwalk to take photos near dome trees close to it. Signs indicated that is not allowed but some people are clueless. I visited it in mid-July so it’s busier than expected. The signs along the path offer a lot of information regarding fauna and flora. Highly recommend!

This trail is on the way from Calgary to Vancouver. We found it when looking for a washroom. It takes only about 15 minutes to walk. Very easy, good for parents too. You can see old forest and big trees. Bring bear spray. A nice stop to rest during a long trip.

Sep-2025: Second time coming here and it’s as beautiful as before! They did a lot of maintenance like installing brand new boards in most of the trail. Small part of the trail still closed for repair but you can still enjoy the beautiful giant cedars! There are plenty of parking and washrooms. Definitely worth a stop!

Magical and peaceful walk through ancient giants We stopped at the Giant Cedars Boardwalk Trail just off the Trans-Canada Highway, and it was absolutely worth it. The boardwalk is short (about 500 m) but incredibly scenic—you're surrounded by massive, old-growth western red cedars that make you feel like you’ve stepped into another world. The trail is well-maintained and easy for all ages—no hiking experience needed. It’s shaded, quiet, and full of earthy smells and birdsong. There are also little signs along the way that share interesting info about the forest and how old some of these trees are. It’s a quick stop (15–30 minutes), but it really leaves an impression. Perfect if you're passing through Revelstoke and want a break from the road.

Great stop for break on a road trip. Decent amount of good parking for rvs, trailers and cars. Clean washrooms and numerous picnic tables. Nice boardwalk around the big trees and good break from the traffic. No services here other than washrooms.

It was amazing to see Giant Cedars again. Half of the pass is closed , due to fire in 2021 but you can see enough to be amazed. We spent 20 minutes taking pictures of a mushroom 🍄 great walk, but have good shoes it is slippery

You can find the Giant Cedars Boardwalk Trail about 30 kilometers from Revelstoke, B.C. The walk is about half a kilometer and takes you right into the heart of the forest in Mount Revelstoke National Park. Some of the trees found in the Giant Cedars Boardwalk Trail are at least 500 years old. This is such a beautiful location. I really recommend this place.

Be prepared for cooler temps than down in the town of Revelstoke. Many gorgeous trails criss-crossing the top of the mountain. Picnic tables and pit toilets. Amazing wildflowers when we went in mid August. You cannot drive the last 1km, but the road is still available to walk up. My husband went up and said the view was fantastic. Even if you just stay near the parking lot it is still gorgeous and there are many trails to explore.

Fairly simple trails at the top of Mount Revelstoke that could be completed in ~4-5 hours. The trail is well maintained, but could get muddy under sub-optimal weather conditions. I had a great hike despite the rapid-changing weather conditions. The views at Jade Lake was a bit anti-climatic. If you aren't intenting to camp, stopping at the ridge between Miller and Jade lakes is sufficient. The ridge had by far the best view of the trail.

Beautiful mountain and park! You can drive almost right up to the summit (short, but fairly strenuous walk to the summit from parking lot). Unfortunately was hazy from wildfires when we visited, but it must be one of the most spectacular places imaginable on a clear day. We found a rare BC lizard on the mountain, couldn’t find the salamanders. Come for the views! Note there are also trails down the mountain at lower elevations with spectacular forests.

Stunning place. A little busy and had to line up at the park entrance to go up the mountain. It was about 45-60 min wait in the mid to late afternoon. When we got to the top it was nice and cool on a hot summers day.

We did a fantastic half day hike from about 2/3 of the way up to the top of the mountain. I highly recommend not driving all the way up - there are some really beautiful trails and very helpful park staff eager to help anyone with questions. Highly recommend!

A beautiful park to visit! Well worth the long trip up to the top of the mountain to see the amazing view and glorious mountain Flora and Fauna! Loved it!

The drive up to the top is spectacular! We did this drive in mid July and the wildflowers lining the road were beautiful. There were many hikes available along the way up, it was not congested with tourists, and parking was available in the middle of the day at the top. There was also a free shuttle up and down for those not able to make the short uphill hike to the summit. I would highly recommend this park and the sky meadow parkway for anyone who would like to enjoy the Canadian Rockies without crowds and with light to no hiking.

The new mini suspension bridge offers great views. Gravel trails make it tough for strollers. Pipe Mountain Coaster was fun with a short wait. I gave it 3 stars. There isn’t much for a family looking to sightsee.

Great time on the pipe coaster and the new suspension bridge is a nice and easy 0.5km hike from the upper gondola. The restaurant at the top has good food and amazing views. Buy the 3-attraction Adventure Pass online the day before for best value, you can then do the suspension bridge and both of the pipe coaster tracks.

Beautiful resort with lots of activities to have fun. Mountain coaster, Gondola, Mountain biking, hiking, swimming pool, hot tubs, saunas and great restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation here. Only negative is the noise from construction of a new building that starts at 7am until 5pm. When you get a room, ask them to be sure to give you a room away from that area. We couldn't have our door open or sit on the balcony because the noise was too loud.

Visited while passing through from Kamloops to Canmore. We were looking for a way to appreciate the mountains and this did not disappoint. We didn’t have a ton of time as it was a long driving day, but we took the gondola to the top and walked the High Line trail. It has a fantastic viewing platform and suspension bridge. All the staff we interacted with were so kind and welcoming. I would suggest buying tickets online prior to as there was a 10% savings on the admission we missed out on by buying ours at the counter upon arrival.

My husband and I had an amazing time at Revelstoke Mountain Resort! The gondola ride offered stunning views of the mountains and valley, and the mountain coaster was absolutely thrilling — fast, fun, and safe for everyone. The area is clean, well-organized, and surrounded by beautiful nature. A perfect place to enjoy adventure and relaxation in one spot.

First time visiting this place and we came from Edmonton. We purchased the 3 adventure pass cause I wanted to try the sightseeing, the coaster ride and the aerial place. The view was nice and cold, took a lot of pictures there. The coaster ride was nice actually, and apparently track 1 is best (you’ll just have to find out why) and the aerial was fun and tiring. Will definitely come back cause I haven’t really explored the small commons there

The pipe Coaster was a major highlight of our road trip. The gondal right to the top of the mountain was very scenic and felt like an additional experience on top of the coaster. Staff prioritized safety which was highly appreciated. My suggestion if you are going with a group is to put the faster riders (or who you think will be faster) and have them go first. Or when the light turns green for you to go, wait another minute. That way the person in front won't slow you down. Highly recommend this experience.

Just the size of this facility is breathtaking. Totally worth the visit...so interesting to learn how it was built. Revelstoke Dam was one of the highlights of my trip to Revy. I would definitely be back, but perhaps after they fix the elevator as we were not able to visit the Dam Crest. Loved the interactive displays and really enjoyed my visit. Make sure you ask them to sing you the BC Hydro song.

Breath taking we did the self tour as we like to take our time. Lots of interesting information to read how the dam was built. Take the elevator up to the top floor and walk outside to see the dam with the river below. There is some interactive things to try and you can also get headphones if you like.

The Revelstoke Dam Visitor Centre is a fantastic place for a family outing, offering both education and a ton of fun. This isn't just a simple dam tour; it's an exciting and hands-on experience that captivates visitors of all ages. Kids especially will love the interactive exhibits and the chance to see a massive hydro-electric project up close. ​The centre does an excellent job of explaining how the dam works and its importance to the region in a way that’s easy to understand for everyone. It’s truly an educational adventure. The displays are well-designed and the guides are friendly and knowledgeable, making the whole visit engaging and worthwhile. Plus, the sheer scale of the dam is impressive, providing a powerful sense of awe. You'll leave with a greater appreciation for engineering and the power of nature. It's an ideal spot for families to learn and have a blast together.

Fun little stop on our way out camping. You can get the history and stats on the dam, and there's a small section of "experiments " and learning for kids. Will definitely go back once the top observation deck is re opened. But there are currently no fees to go in since it's closed.

We spent about an hour at the visitor center and got the tour from Beth. Very interesting and informative and the facility itself is impressive in it's scale. Unfortunately, the lookout from the top of the dam was closed. Lots of hands-on stuff to occupy young and old alike in the lower level. Friendly staff. Allow a few minutes to go through the security check at the gate (just present ID) before the scheduled tour.

We had a wonderful experience visiting the dam. The surroundings were beautiful, well-maintained, and very peaceful. It’s definitely a great spot to spend time with family and enjoy nature. The only small disappointment was that the lift wasn’t working during our visit, so we couldn’t get the chance to see the view from the top of the dam. Hopefully next time it will be operational, because everything else about the visit was excellent. Highly recommended!

Great FREE tour, and wonderful sites. Before I never knew much about dams, accept ofcourse the use of them.. but the detailed explanation of how they were build, and a bit of the behind the scenes made this an interesting experience.

A must-visit for history and train lovers! The Revelstoke Railway Museum is a fascinating stop that brings the history of the Canadian Pacific Railway to life. It does an excellent job showcasing the monumental effort behind the construction and operation of the CPR through Western Canada’s rugged mountain regions. From vintage locomotives and railcars to detailed exhibits and historical artifacts, there’s so much to explore. One of the highlights is the locomotive simulator, which gives you a hands-on experience of driving a train — just bring a $2 coin to try it out! Whether you're a train enthusiast or just curious about Canada's railway history, this museum is absolutely worth the visit when you're in Revelstoke.

I’m not a great train lover but this museum was fabulous - lots of information about the building of the CP Railroad through the Canadian Rockies. There are old carriages to sit in and see the menus travellers of yesterday enjoyed. Plenty of videos to sit down and enjoy of the railroad from when you need a break from reading. Excellent and I’d revisit.

The museum tells the many stories of the Canadian Pacific railway in western Canada's mountains. Since opening in 1993, the museum has entertained hundreds of thousands of visitors. The many exhibits cover a variety of different aspects of the railway system. According to the museum, the average visit lasts about an hour and a half. We were there for 3 hours. The museum is wheelchair accessible, with ramps and an elevator to move between galleries. However, the heritage vehicles are not wheelchair accessible. The outdoor yard is partially paved and a covered gazebo is available. There are very clean restroom facilities inside the museum.

Excellent compact railway museum with an excellent telling of the history about Canadian Pacific railway. The mainline runs by the museum and carries freight trains. Remember to take a CAD2 coin to go on the simulator. The staff will exchange for a note if you’re not carrying change. The museum continues outside with locomotives and caboose (guard’s van) and has a decent souvenir shop.

I was surprised that there was so much to see! Enjoyed learning about the history of the Canadian Pacific Railway and Revelstoke's place in railway history. I especially enjoyed the models, which helped me understand the complexity of what it meant to build the railway

What a great little museum in the middle of Revelstoke! Very interesting to walk around, even inside one of the trains and outside too. One of the best museums we visited in Western Canada

Excellent museum. Plenty of history of the track through the Rockies. The carriages for passengers are a must to see. I especially loved the toilet. Make sure you do the outside as well.

What a great place to roam around. We are seniors And had a great time. We did take the nature walk and that was quite the trek. What goes down must come up. The whole forest is beautiful laid out. We took about 2 hours to go through the forest. At the end there is a duck pond and a fish pond and you can buy food for both

Almost 40 and this place was still magical. The staff are so lovely! Tall gorgeous cedars everywhere and tucked in amongst the beauty is little things from your childhood, every story I had heard growing up was infront of me. It was nostalgic and stunning, the detail that goes into this place is next level. There is a salmon run in the fall, you can walk the boardwalk trail and watch them swim down stream. They have a duck and rainbow trout pond you can buy food in the gift shop for them, the ducks will eat out of your hand! The trout are pigs and entertaining to watch! The nature walk is beautiful but up hill and not super awesome for a prairie chicken like me but was worth it for the pictures! The bathrooms were cleaner than most indoor places and they were outside and had running water! There is an adventure place within it for kids as well but even if you just do the enchanted forest you will be amazed! Highly recommend, this was by far the best thing on our trip itinerary! The gift shop was also reasonably priced, not a thing often seen in BC. Lots of trinkets and tshirts to look through!

Our visit to the Enchanted Forest was absolutely wonderful! It truly brought back so many childhood memories—walking through fairy tale displays, climbing treehouses, and exploring whimsical paths made us feel like kids again. There was so much to see and do, and every corner was filled with charm and creativity. We had so much fun taking pictures, discovering hidden spots, and just enjoying the nostalgic atmosphere. It’s a perfect place for both kids and adults to experience a bit of magic. Highly recommended for anyone looking to relive some childhood joy or just have a fun and unique day out!

We stopped at the Enchanted Forest in Revelstoke with our kids and they absolutely loved it! Walking through the forest full of fairy-tale houses, giant mushrooms, and storybook characters was pure magic for them. It’s such a fun and unique place for families, with so many little details that kept the kids excited the whole way through. A perfect stop to stretch your legs and make some wonderful memories!

Take your kids! It's such a magical place full of fairy tale characters in the forest. There is also a cute little pond with ducks and fish that the kids can feed. Absolutely loved it, will be stopping here regularly. Even if you dont have children, it's such a whimsical walk, there is also a nature path that is gorgeous.

This is such a cute roadside attraction. They bring childhood stories to life and most of the houses and such are interactive. There’s a 3 story tree house you can go up. The staff are so friendly and welcoming as well. Cute little gift shop at the end if you chose to or you can bypass that straight out. Takes about an hour to go through.

What a beautiful place, this forest seems like wonderland. The thought behind the creator for this shows a lot of creativity. They have turned things into beautiful leaves of art, tiny little sculptures ,homes ,and if you enter those homes then beddings and other little things. Good place to take your kids to. Highly recommend visiting this for once. You can see this within an hours time. On road and good enough parking space.

We had a great stay at Crazy Creek resort! The cabin accommodations exceeded our expectations, very clean and good use of space. Our unit had a small Kitchenette and breakfast bar, all equipped with the appliances needed - perfect for 2 people. Large windows provided lots of natural light and view of the gorgeous scenery and mountains. Large covered patio with picnic bench was perfect for lunch, evening dinner/ relaxing. We appreciated the private campfire pit. We hiked the surrounding area, eagle river and suspension bridge - not too far or strenuous, easy moderate walk, great for families. The hot pools were nice and offered different temperatures and a cold plunge, we enjoyed the adult quiet hour at night. The highway is very close by, but the noise wasn’t bothersome. Units were almost soundproof- very quiet at night. We will definitely come back again!

This was my first time at this resort and I had an INCREDIBLE experience! The resort was extremely beautiful and well-kept, staff was so friendly, and the overall experience was amazing. My favourite part was the hot pools which were great both during the day and at night. I also loved how many dog-friendly activities there were. It's a great spot for a couples getaway; I don't have kids but it was clear there's lots to do for kids and families as well. I will 100% be back again!

We had such a great time at Crazy Creek Resort! Our campsite was super spacious, giving us plenty of room to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. We loved using the hot pools and the cold plunge—it was the perfect way to unwind. Our daughter and I had so much fun picking huckleberries right on the property, and the pump track was a huge hit too—we spent lots of time doing sweet tricks and enjoying the space. The whole resort is clean, well-maintained, and clearly run by people who care. It’s a great base for exploring the area, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended for families and anyone looking for a fun and relaxing getaway!

First time to Crazy Creek and we will definitely be back! Our room was spacious with comfortable beds and cute decor. The staff were really friendly and the entire resort was really clean. We walked to the beach and saw the spawning salmon which was fun. The suspension bridge was unfortunately closed for the season but we will have to do thst next time we come. Only 30 minutes from Revelstoke which makes it a great location.

It’s long been on our bucket list to visit Crazy Creek Hot Pools Resort. We finally made it there, with our friends Susan and Mike. We enjoyed 2-nights in one of the newer 2-bedroom cabins, enjoyed the hot pools multiple times, dipped our feet into the cold plunge, and relaxed by the fire table on our deck. We also walked over the suspension bridge and went up and down approximately 230 steps to view the waterfalls from multiple viewing platforms. Our dogs had a staycation with Nana and Grandpa, but the cabins are dog-friendly and we would likely take them with us next time. There’s plenty of campsites also for camping and RVs. Plus there’s a nice walking trail around the property. We enjoyed our time here and will plan to visit again in the future.

Staff is always so welcoming and helpful, the pools are always very good for my physical health (hot and cold plunge) and we love having a firepit right outside our cabin door. This Thanksgiving weekend was no different than any other stay. The staff were so helpful. I kindly asked if frying pans should be in the rooms and mentioned that we didn't have one and by the time we got back to our cabin there were frying pans sitting outside our door. thank you for always being a wonderful weekend for my wife and I.

Beautiful spot with great amenities. We had a tough time getting our tent stakes into the ground because it was incredibly rocky ground, but other than that, fantastic. I will mention, the train came past and you could hear it on the tracks, as well as noise from the highway, but there were no train whistles at night and we didn't find it disruptive to our sleep. Clean facilities, great hot pools, and lots to do in the area. Great walking paths to the ruins of the old town that was here as well. We're considering coming back to check out the cabins next time, they looked really nice.

We had an excellent evening on Prime Rib night. The food was wonderful, but our server Bobbi made it such a memorable experience. So welcoming and accommodating! 5/5!

Beautiful golf course surrounded by forest and mountains, near the lake and marina, has it's own airstrip and nice restaurant.

We were able to a 3 night RV stay and play accomodation pkg in May. Great value! The staff in the pro shop and in the restaurant were very friendly and incredibly helpful. We were really impressed with the condition of the fairways and the greens for the 2024 season! The RV lot that we rented for the three nights was very large but our biggest issue was the sani dump ports ... it was above ground rather than flush...so you can't hook up and drain on a downward slope. Not sure why they built them so high. Be prepared and bring lots of boards to set up your sani hose system.

Thanks for the great service Alexey! My brother and I had a nice father's Day dinner with our Father and grandfather tonight. Thank you for working on such an occassion in so that we could enjoy the luxury of being served. 🙂 Thanks for snapping a photo aswell

It is getting just super crazy on the extra money grabs now and extra fees implemented. Some of which are so extreme and extravagant! This was a go to place about once a yr on average for us until this yr now and to combine staying and golfing we really liked and please know that the golf course is amazing! Cabins etc... No dogs allowed in a beach cabin is really silly and ridiculous to be so honest if they charge a ton of extras on cleaning and for extra dog cleaning too! They want you to just stay at the more expensive house with a dog and still charge a ton of extras I noticed. What if you were a very clean person and maybe even cleaner than the ladies cleaning? What if your dog is small and not very messy? I mean, I always tidy up wherever I stay at! It is the slobs of society that have ruined things for the normal clean people of the world! The lazies have taken over folks but with a big penalty now to anyone who are respectful of motels and cabins out there! With all of the crazy extra fees now and not even to include golf like they did in past, we have had to make other arrangements this yr. Was a staple to go here to Mabel and enjoy ourselves. Review below was from last yr. I know it is not really the golf course's fault but I wished they would get a cell tower up there finally or at least have working internet in the clubhouse to just check business emails every now and then, even when visiting or staying at a cabin up there. 2ndly, why not allow dogs like some other courses to be on the patio??? This is where I bring my 5 star rating down to 3 now. Could have enjoyed some time with the dog on the patio and something different than just at beach cabin. Review below is from the other yr...(based on golf and without the dog with us). There should be much more pet friendly places in the world. Course is a definite 5 of 5! In immaculate shape and with nice scenery and play-ability. Staff are friendly and with a nice patio to watch some putts on the 9th green. Food menu limited but we enjoyed the chicken strips and fries. We rented a cabin too right on the lake and we enjoyed our time quite a lot. Please know though there is no cell service and no internet except up at the clubhouse. Just roughing it once in awhile is quite relaxing. Thanks! (:

Just went to Club House for a meal. Was great, has Cell service and Wifi also. TV to watch sports. And an Air strip which is surrounded by the golf course.

Beautiful Resort. Well maintained, green and clean. The Clubhouse has delicious food!

We stopped by on Monday for ice cream and really liked the place and atmosphere. Our toddler was quite entertained by the various tractors he could sit on and the baby cows he could watch. There was a lineup, but it only took about 10 minutes—so not too long. The staff was great and friendly, especially considering how busy they were. The ice cream was okay; lots of choices, we tried Sea Salt Caramel Cheesecake and Wild Berries. They were nice and creamy, which was great, but not very flavourful—even though cherry usually is. They also sell milk products, including milk and cheese. We didn’t have a chance to try them.

Stopped here on the way from Revelstoke — definitely worth it! The place was quite busy, and we waited about 10 minutes in line, but the huge selection of ice cream made from fresh farm milk was worth it. They also offer lactose-free options and refreshing sorbets, which is a big plus. The whole spot has a Dutch theme, with shelves full of waffles, chocolate, and cookies, along with their own dairy products straight from the farm. The property is large and well set up, with gazebos, washrooms, a store, and even a barn where you can see the cows. A fun stop for families and ice cream lovers alike!

We have been stopping by D Dutchmen for years. It's worth taking a break here from the drive to have some delicious ice cream. This is no tourist trap. The ice cream and sorbet are excellent here. My kids look forward to this stop on our way to the Okanagan. The washrooms are clean and another reason to stop by. If you feel up to it, pop across the street to Fruit World for some healthy snacks for the road.

I definitely recommend making a detour to D Dutchmen Dairy for their fresh, creamy ice cream. You can grab a pint or even a tub to take home. The ice cream is rich, full of flavor, and has that heavy cream taste that makes it stand out exactly how I like it. It does get very busy, so be prepared to wait in line, but it’s absolutely worth it once you get that first scoop. A true local gem and a must-stop when passing through Sicamous.

Great choice of ice cream! You can also find a variety of farm-made cheeses, milks, and fresh cream. There are even some lovely Dutch souvenirs such as ceramic tulips, kitchen towels, and, of course, authentic Dutch waffles.When my daughter accidentally dropped her ice cream at the cashier while we were paying, the cashier—before she even started to cry—immediately said they would bring her a new portion. That was such a kind gesture, and I’m very grateful for it. A public washroom is available, and there’s also a play area for children.

Dutchmen Dairy in Sicamous was a notable stop on our drive to Revelstoke. I had two scoops of ice cream, and the sea salt caramel cheesecake flavor was fantastic—rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. They boast a wide variety of ice cream flavors, which is a major draw. However, on our return trip, I tried the Oreo and mango flavors, and both were a big disappointment. Not only did they lack the distinct Oreo and mango tastes I expected, but they oddly tasted the same, which was a real letdown. The place has a family-friendly atmosphere, with a nice seating area, a small play space for kids, and a barn where you can see cows and goats, which my family enjoyed. That said, the shop gets very crowded, and parking is a hassle. Hygiene was also an issue—there was a fly buzzing around, and the ice cream cones were left exposed without covers. Worst of all, stepping outside hits you with a strong smell of cow patties from the barn right behind the store, making it tough to enjoy your ice cream. Pricing for the scoops is fair: $5.25 for one giant scoop, $6.50 for two scoops, and $8.00 for three scoops. However, a waffle cone costs an extra $1.00, and a bowl adds $0.25, which feels a bit much for basic add-ons. The ice cream quality (when the flavor delivers) and family-friendly vibe are highlights, but the disappointing flavors, hygiene concerns, and overpowering barn smell really detracted from the experience. I’d recommend it for the standout flavors and kid-friendly activities, but they need to improve cleanliness, flavor consistency, and the odor issue.

An all-in-one stop for everyone. Family-run with a welcoming feel, great products and incredible up-close (no cost) experience of the ‘farm’. The ice cream, milk, cheese, butter, etc. is just an added bonus. Our kids loved coming ans it became a daily stop on our holiday.
