Steady uphill, but not too much of an incline. Made for an easy walk back. Dedicated trails. Takes about three hours total. The start of the hike is near Cameron Falls. It's convenient to do both at once, since Cameron falls is right off the road, no hiking necessary. The parking lot is small, but there's a lot of street parking and it's walkable from most places in downtown.

Bertha Lake Trail was one of my favorite hikes I did while exploring Waterton Lakes National Park…read more It's located right on the outskirts of the town of Waterton Village about a half mile away from Cameron Falls. If you're driving along the road, there's a big sign for the trailhead to Bertha lake. It cannot be missed. There's a relatively small parking lot offered or you can simply park on the side of the street. This Bertha Lake Trailhead is a pretty expansive trail. You can hike on it for quite some time, or along the way there'll be two main attractions featured. For myself, I hiked only to Bertha Falls. It's a 2.6 kilometer trek (or about 2 miles one way) with an easy - moderate climb in elevation. Nothing strenuous whatsover. I was content only hiking to these falls as along the way I was able to witness some fantastic scenery. In all, this hike took me roughly 3 hours to traverse....a little over an hour each way plus time to stop and take wonderful photos of the views around me including flowing Bertha Falls. You can continue further past Bertha Falls to actual Bertha Lake. This was a 5.2 kilometer hike (or a little over 4 miles one way) from the start of the trailhead or....an extra 2.5 kilometers away from Bertha Falls. The trailhead sign mentioned hiking from the start of Bertha Lake Trail and arriving at Bertha Lake takes about 2 - 2.5 hours each way....along with having any time for soaking up the sights. In doing my research, I had read that Bertha Lake was beautiful, but I just didn't have the time available to see it after visiting other popular sights in the area like...Prince of Wales Hotel, Waterton Shoreline Cruise, Akamina and Red Rock Parkways and even renting a bicycle and journeying around town. For anyone interested....from Bertha Lake Trailhead....you could really travel 13 kilometers one way.....all the way towards Goat Haunt, Montana where the start to more terrific trails begin. Lol....this wasn't even a consideration for me. Here's the real reason why I enjoyed my hike to Bertha Falls. Along this passageway, I was confronted with magnificent views of the Waterton landscape. Climbing aside the cliff's edge (nothing scary or any sort of straight drop) the images of the mountains converging onto the waters created some real cherishable moments. I specifically recall (I'd say about 2/3's of the way along the path) there's an overlook that truly captures the iconic images of Waterton Lakes National Park. It was here where I raised my arms over my head in disbelief and thought just how fortunate I felt to be able to immerse myself in such grand scenery. Also, I hiked this trail in late afternoon and had the sun towards my back which helped accentuate the terrain. I really captured some magical moments along this hike to Bertha Falls. It was quite humbling. Eventually arriving at Bertha Falls, the atmosphere was pleasant. I wouldn't say the falls were too statuesque, but still the whole ambiance made it worthwhile. At these falls, I first thought they were just okay....but when I climbed up a small side path and got a much closer look at the waters running down the forest's edge....it was momentous. Ultimately instead of heading another 2.6 kilometers towards Bertha Lake, I turned around and headed back to the start of the trailhead all the while gazing upon the surroundings that were pretty magical. I'm grateful I chose to explore Bertha Lake Trail. It was one of the best activities I did here at Waterton Lakes NP. I'd recommend to everyone to enjoy this hike and appreciate an opportunity to understand what makes Waterton's countryside so special.

The Cameron Lakeshore Trail was on my list of places to hike when visiting Waterton, and the lake…read moreitself is so beautiful. There's a small concession and shop with rentals, and lots of public washrooms. There's a dock and the lake was full of paddle boards, boaters and swimmers at the shallow end near the beach. We hiked the trail with friends who had done it years prior, and it's about a flat 3 km round trip out and back route, to a lookout that's across the lake from a meadow where grizzly bears frequent. The idea of safely viewing animals across the water was very appealing so we set out on a warm afternoon to check it out. The Parks Canada website listed this trail as "good condition" when we went, and I will tell you, it was certainly not. The trail was full of muddy sections, with some mud puddles that submerged our shoes. Our only guess is that the water came down the mountain during the recent heatwave, as it hadn't rained in the area for quite some time. After about 15 or 20 minutes of hiking the wide trail became incredibly overgrown and narrow, and my legs were scratched from pushing through all the plants that have begun to grow over the trail. In the sections where the brush had narrowed the trail, we got destroyed by mosquitos and horseflies. Even with bug repellent it was a struggle. The end view at the trail was lovely, but honestly not worth the mud and bushwacking to get there. If Parks Canada and the Waterton tourism site keep promoting this trail as "easy", it really needs some maintenance and grooming to help make it more enjoyable and easier to navigate.

Views views views!…read more Great change of pace after days of hiking. I rented a 1 seater kayak from glacier outfitters. It may look like a far walk but it isn't! Totally doable. The staff was very nice to explain everything to me. They showed me the lake map and where to go and not go, etc. Instructions were very clear. I rented 2 hours (they have you 15 mins for the round trip walk). The walk from the rental to the lake I thought was a bit of a walk but it was not bad to haul the kayak there, they are on wheels so it is not bad. You leave the wheels near the trees. Returning the kayak was fairly easy as well. There are lockers available that you can put your stuff if you don't want to take it with you. The minimum number of hours is 2 hours and it was 40 something. Overall it was a good experience! Everything was great. Would recommend and use service again.

We had people waiting for our parking spot when we returned to the car. I'm not sure where people would park when it gets very busy. Perhaps there is another parking lot I didn't see. When you walk up to G.O. you sign waivers, pay the fee and are gathered in an area for instructions. The man who provided the instructions was very informative. Advised us of areas in Flathead Lake to avoid including a rough water area and a few bald eagle's nests as they recently laid eggs. After instructions, you are provided with the kayak, paddle, life jacket and a cart to roll the kayak down to the lake. Now, I'm pretty strong but the kayaks are heavy. I did think to myself, how would someone with less strength get this kayak down to the lake? Something to ask about if you are renting as it is several yards to walk with a heavy kayak. The carts were easy to remove and stash while we spent the day in the lake. When you finish kayaking, you simply load the kayak back on the cart and roll it back to G.O., drop off gear and you are done. We had a great experience with Glacier Outfitters and would use them again.
