Spirit IslandCanoe Rentals

At Maligne Lake, you can rent canoes from the boathouse located near the lake's Day Use Area. The canoes are typically available for rent from late May to early October, depending on weather conditions. Rental durations can range from a few hours to a full day, allowing you to explore the lake at your own pace.

Self-Guided Spirit Island Canoeing

With a rented canoe, you can embark on a self-guided adventure on Maligne Lake. Paddle along the clear waters, taking in the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and forests. While Spirit Island is located at the far end of the lake, reaching it by canoe requires a long journey and careful planning due to the lake's size.

Alternatively, you can join a guided canoe tour provided by authorized tour operators. These tours offer knowledgeable guides who can provide insights about the area's history, wildlife, and geography while leading you to Spirit Island. The guides will ensure your safety and enrich your experience with interesting information.

Spirit Island Shuttle

If you prefer a shorter and more convenient option, you can take a shuttle boat directly to Spirit Island. These guided tours typically depart from the Maligne Lake boathouse and transport visitors to Spirit Island, allowing you to explore the area and learn about its significance. This option saves you the effort of paddling to Spirit Island and is ideal for those with limited time or physical capabilities. Remember to check with Parks Canada for up-to-date information on any specific guidelines or restrictions that may be in place for canoeing on Maligne Lake and visiting Spirit Island.
