Medicine Lake

Nestled within the rugged mountains of Jasper National Park, Medicine Lake is both a scenic and geological marvel. During the summer months, the lake fills with pristine glacial water, creating a serene environment for wildlife watching and recreation. As fall approaches, the lake undergoes a dramatic transformation: sinkholes at its bottom drain the water, leaving behind expansive mudflats. This unique phenomenon makes Medicine Lake a fascinating destination for visitors to observe the dynamic interplay of nature’s forces.
