r/Redditlake

Sometimes, the Canadian Rockies remind us who is actually in charge.

The last time I was in Banff (2018) I didn't get to visit Moraine Lake, so when I had the opportunity to go again last week, I made sure to visit Reddit Lake and take the pre-requisite picture.

Gear: Sony A6700 + Tamron 18-300mm.

When: Saturday, 20 June 2026, 10:19am.

exhilarating experience for sure

Petition to merge the Banff subreddit with r/Redditlake:

Seeing as 4 of the first 10 posts in the Banff subreddit are photos of Redditlake, and two additional posts are asking/complaining about how to get to Redditlake, I think they should just merge at this point. Because we all know the only thing worth seeing in Banff National Park is Redditlake! 😆

In all seriousness, I love Moraine Lake and go up the road multiple times a year (usually on skis). I was watching some family video from a visit in the 90’s and there were only about 15 cars in the parking lot, despite the time stamp saying it was noon in mid-July! It’s a little weird knowing that this lake is now internet famous and not just a local gem anymore.

Obligatory photo of the lake, and one from a cross country ski on the road this past winter (you can’t actually go all the way to the lake due to a big avalanche zone)
