Mount Assiniboine Park is world-renowned for its lakes, glaciers, peaks, and alpine meadows. The park is part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks UNESCO World Heritage Site. Mount Assiniboine itself sits on the continental divide near the southeast corner of the park, at an elevation of 3,618 m.
No roads pass through the park, with trails providing the only land access. Camping, hiking, and mountain climbing are the main activities here. Fishing, horseback riding, and ski touring are also popular. Magog Lake and Og Lake, the park’s core areas, are extremely popular backcountry camping destinations.
