The Lake Side trail along Two Jake Lake and the canal offer beautiful views of the surrounding Mountain range. You can follow the canal flowing South out of the lake for a few kilometers. This canal leads to a power generating plant located in the Bow River valley below, it is some what hidden and partially buried for a few Kilometers. Two Jack Lake is perfect for canoeing, it's smaller size makes for calmer water. Canoer's, don't confuse Two Jack Lake with nearby Lake Minnewanka which is known to have extremely hazardous wind gusts that blow out of nowhere. Two Jack Lake Lake is good for trout fishing, a National Park fishing license is required if you want to try out your luck.
