Probably our favourite spot to come when we’re in Banff. The loop is easy for all and the views are gorgeous. We love hearing the water trickle down the mountain all the way to the lake. The water is so warm, it never freezes. There are lookouts for birds and spots to see the small fish that call the marsh home. Peaceful spot just to relax. Check it out next time you’re in Banff. It’s just below the Cave and Basin.

This is an awesome hike! The exhibit and springs above are amazing, and also definitely worth a visit. This is a very easy trail with some wildlife like snakes and birds. The views down at the Marsh are absolutely spectacular. Definitely walk this easy and beautiful trail while at this park!

A nice short little hike to stretch your legs in Banff. I've never seen a hot springs marsh and just loved the moss growing under the frost. We were told we would see lots of birds, but we saw/heard none. You could see all the minnows swimming in the flowing warm waters though! Very neat!

Great place and great history. The hiking trail is very short but really worth doing it. As you walk along the boardwalk, you feel peaceful. You can smell the trees, see streams, and the marsh full of tiny fish. The cave is amazing. A must see if you're in the area

Great low key walk with little ones to observe nature. The walkways are marked with informative plaques about local fauna. Bring your magnifying glass to observe the minnows or your binoculars to bird watch.

Great views along the river, however, frequent use by horses (by the tour company nearby) turns the majority of the track into a total mudpit making it incredibly uncomfortable for pedestrians post-rain.
