Lake Minnewanka (LM11/Mt. Inglismaldie) is a designated backcountry campground along the Lake Minnewanka trail in Banff National Park, offering five tent sites with tent pads, picnic tables, bear lockers, and drop toilets. Campfire rings are provided and fires are allowed at this site. The location's relatively lower elevation compared to high-alpine backcountry sites makes it accessible earlier in the season. Wildlife management travel restrictions apply from July 10 to September 15, requiring groups of four or more people on this trail section and prohibiting dogs and bicycles during that period. A Parks Canada backcountry permit and advance reservation are required.
