About Peyto Lake

Colorful turquoise waters and the adjacent majestic Canadian Rocky Mountains make this 346-acre Banff National Park lake a tourist favorite. Peyto Lake was named after early Banff mountain guide Bill Peyto and gets its hue that often changes from deposits of glacial rock flour. A popular viewing area for the Alberta jewel that continues to astound visitors is from Bow Summit along the Icefields Parkway.
