Carthew Lake and marmot

Highlight • Lake

Walk silently and you will see many big marmots

Tip by

9.72 km

This beautiful waterfall is easily reached from the Waterton Townsite and is a must see if you're in the area. While the best views are from the base of the falls there is a short side trail you can take to the top of the falls if you'd like to get a different perspective.
