Banff National Park

Help prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species in Banff National Park!

Did you know? This activity can spread harmful aquatic invasive species (AIS)! To protect park waters all boats, non-motorized watercraft (paddleboards, canoes, kayaks, inflatables, etc.), angling equipment, scuba gear, and other water-related equipment must be Cleaned, Drained, Dried, and Certified before use in Banff National Park.

Review the AIS prevention water rules and regulations and learn how to certify your watercraft and equipment.

The park's glacier-fed lakes provide spectacular photo opportunities, but most are much too cold for swimming. There are, however, a variety of public swimming facilities throughout the national park.
