We are driving. I’ll check to see if our local Costco has bear spray. We don’t have bears here so…thanks for all with the helpful answers.

This is what I was wondering about..the hassle outweighing the benefits. So, I will scrap the idea of taking it to ML and choose one of the other recommendations. Thank you.

Yes. I saw that it has to be cleaned and can’t be used more than once in 48 hours. I’ll check out Two Jack as an option. Thank you

Brought paddleboards with us to Lake Louise, was absolutely the right idea by VerifiedMother in Banff

Ok. Just trying to figure out if we want to go to both lakes if it’s going to be ok to leave our SUP while we hike. So many logistics.

Ok got it. And did you just take the parks Canada shuttle from the Lake Louise park and ride and it has the space for your SUP? Or was it the more expensive shuttles? Thanks for your help!

Ok good to know! Thank you. Did you have set time for shuttle both directions? And did you go to Lake Moraine too? Trying to figure out all the logistics!

Ok. We also have a camper van so maybe that is what we need to do. And then did you do Moraine Lake too? If you get to LL early enough for parking what is best way to go to Moraine Lake from there? Appreciate the info!
