Two Jack Lake, Alberta, Canada (with Map & Photos)

Two Jack Lake is about 11 kilometers northeast of Banff Town, next to Minnewanka Lake, from the lake you can see Mt. Rundle in the south. The water is blue-green, and there is a small island in the lake, similar to Spirit Island in Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park, covered with fir trees.

At the end of the nineteenth century, there were two good friends named Jack, one called Jack Stanley, who was in the boat business on the adjacent Lake Minnewanka; the other was called Jack Watters, who worked in the nearby Bankhead Coal Mine. The two often meet by the lake here, so people call the lake Double Jack Lake.
