The Vermilion Lakes are a wetland area containing several shallow water bodies and is one of the most important areas in Banff National Park for waterfowl. Starting in April, bird watching enthusiests can enjoy Osprey, Bald Eagles, Tundra Swans, Mergansers, Northern Shovelers and many more species. During the summer months, a different assortment of birds can be found ranging from the American Bittern, Wood Fick, Eastern Kingbird and the Pileated Woodpecker. Many visitors enjoy a casual morning walk or a brisk canoe through the lakes to scout these birds.
The Vermilion Lakes Drive starts just west of the Town of Banff. The road runs parallel to the Trans Canada Highway for approximately 4 km.
