Paddling the turquoise lake
Red canoes, cold fingers and water the colour of a sweet shop.

The water really is that colour. It comes from tiny bits of rock in the glacier melt, and it looks even brighter in person.
Red canoes, cold fingers
We hired a canoe for an hour and paddled to the far end of the lake. The kids counted ducks and the grown-ups counted strokes.
Tips
Go early, before the wind picks up. Bring warm layers, even in summer, and a snack for the walk back.
