Here you will find beautiful log homes nestled around the crystal blue lakefront with prime beach property are some unique cabins that are now winterize, and lived in year round. Although there is no commercial activity (none that I know of) at Lake Edith, it still draws quite a bit of traffic from fishermen, swimmers, joggers, and sun-worshippers. A Hostel is just down the road at Maligne Canyon 6km away and I'm not sure if they have showers available. There is a public dock and beach, so you can enjoy this picturesque sight either float on the lake or just walking around. Some one (not sure if he wanted to be mentioned here) ask if me if they rent boats here.

Unfortunately, NO! But, you can rent from the Beauvert Boat House at the The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge and transport it to the dock and put in. If you are lucky and know someone like I do, you can just borrow one from the person that lives there. By the way, No Gas powered motors allowed! Remember you are in the National Park and to be Eco friendly is to enjoy the great outdoors here. Since this lake is very shallow with lots of sandbars, you can sometimes spot somebody pretending to be like Jesus walking on water in the middle of the lake. I would like to add that this lake is one of the warmer glacial lakes to swim in, it is a great place to practice your Eskimo rolls, and no it is not some thing you bake. Kayaking is one of the major sports in Jasper and this is a great practicing place for beginners to advance alike. Adjacent to this lake is Lake Annette, one of the more popular day use areas with all the amenities, Bar-b-q grills, picnic tables, beach and outhouse!
