弓湖就在路邊，去貝托湖會經過。儘管已經遊覽了班夫國家公園的好幾個湖，弓湖還是值得一游的。湖水清澈，從不角度看是不同層次的藍。

弓湖（Bow Lake）也是落基山脈著名的湖泊之一，位於鴉爪山（Crownfoot Mountain）岸下，賈斯伯到班夫的冰原大道（93號高速路）旁。就在公路邊，也有方便停車的地方，很方便。湖水來自弓湖冰川，一路往下匯入納爾遜河，並被認為是納爾遜河的源頭。弓湖是冰川湖，落基山脈鴉爪冰川、弓河冰川、瓦普達冰川的融冰都會注入到這個湖中，並由此向外瀉出，形成了弓河的源頭。10月之初從賈斯伯道班夫自駕路過，停車觀賞順便休息下，站在湖邊，湛藍的湖水遠處的雪山心曠神怡的感覺。

在加拿大洛基山脈班芙國家公園有一條經常看到和經過的河流稱作弓河，它的起源於弓湖。弓湖的水源來自洛基山脈的雪峰，因此弓湖的湖水清澈見底。湛藍的湖水與周邊的冰川雪山交相輝映，組成一幅特有的湖光山色風景畫。

Bow Lake is not a very famous lake on the road from Banff to Jasper, but it doesn't mean that it's beautiful. It's amazing to see the lake without too much expectation anyway. The viewing platform is close to the road and it won't take too long to enjoy it.

Bow Lake is the first lake to enter Banff National Park. The water surface is broad, the color of the water is blue with green, green with blue. The distant peaks set off the first surprise for visitors who had just entered Banff Park. Bow Lake is on the roadside. You can watch and take pictures at close range. The weather in Banff Park is changeable. After a while, it rains and shines and meets the rainbow.
