Attractions and things to do

Formed in 1895 to protect a part of the Canadian Rockies, Waterton Lakes National Park has an area of 505 sq km. In 1932, this park was joined with Glacier National Park in Montana, USA, to form the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park. This park is also a designated UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

This region has a rich legacy with the Kootenay and Blackfoot people occupying it.
Waterton Lakes contains 45 different habitat types, including grasslands, wetlands, coniferous forests and alpine areas, which serve as a home to 60 species of mammals and over 250 species of birds.

The Waterton Townsite offers several campgrounds and over 200 km of hiking trails. The Emerald Bay picnic area is popular with the tourists. Boating and kayaking can be enjoyed at Cameron Lake.
