My first visit to the Bubble Lake was during a February many years ago, but my adventure friends’ James and Ashleigh ( who are the pawrents of Adventure Cat Gary) recently visited in late November and it was amazing (see amazing photos), however only the far end of the lake was frozen enough for them to feel comfortable skating on at that point. Your best bet for visiting is likely anywhere between December through April. When you visit will vary each year depending on how early winter weather arrives, and how soon it starts to warm up. The Bubble Lake is an incredible spectacle! The attention is very well-deserved (in my opinion).

When I first blogged about Alberta’s Bubble Lake in 2017, the post became one of my top blog posts of all time, and to this day, I still get messages from people all over the world who are planning a trip to Canada and want to know more information about how to get to the Bubble Lake! The international attention was primarily a result of the Bubble Lake receiving coverage online in The Guardian, Smithsonian Magazine, Canadian Geographic, Places to see in your Lifetime, and Buzzfeed, to name just a few publications. It’s not even really that close to other picturesque, Alberta mountain spots like Jasper or Banff (over a 2 hour drive from each of those spots as well) so coming here sort of ends up being THE reason to come to this area.

From Calgary, a 3 and a half hour drive north west. If you’re driving to the Bubble Lake from Edmonton, you’re looking at about a 3 and a half hour drive south west. It’s actually home to several bubble lakes, but the one that everyone refers to as *the* Bubble Lake is Abraham Lake, which is located near the town of Nordegg, Alberta, along the David Thompson Highway.Ībraham Lake is located almost the exact same distance from Edmonton or Calgary, Alberta’s two big cities. Did you know: Alberta is home to what’s become world-renowned as a “Bubble Lake?”
